Rajszczak Feliks & Weronika ; Son: Tadeusz ; Daughter: Mirosława

Rajszczak, Feliks Rajszczak, Weronika Rajszczak, Mirosława Rajszczak, Tadeusz Before the war, Feliks Rajszczak, a builder, and Stefan Grajek, a Jew who lived in Warsaw, were close friends. In April 1943, during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Rajszczak helped Jewish fighters who belonged to the Jewish Fighting Organization escape through the sewers to the Aryan side of the city. From May 1943 until January 1944, Rajszczak, his wife, Weronika, and their children, Mirosława and Tadeusz, hid Eliezer Lewin, his little boy, his sister-in-law, Stefan Grajek, and Tuvia Borzykowski, among others, in their home. In January 1944, after a young Pole informed on him, Rajszczak was arrested by the Germans and tortured. With great resourcefulness, he managed to bribe a Polish policeman to warn his charges, as well as members of the Jewish underground living on the Aryan side of the city, that the Gestapo was after them. Thanks to this warning, his Jewish friends survived, and the Jewish Fighting Organization managed to secure his release. In risking their lives to help persecuted Jews, Rajszczak and his family were guided by humanitarian motives, which overrode considerations of personal safety, and identified with the Jewish fighters. On November 28, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized Weronika and Feliks Rajszczak, their son, Tadeusz, and daughter, Mirosława, as Righteous Among the Nations.
