Wojnarowicz Zygmunt & Elżbieta (Kopaczka)

Wojnarowicz Zygmunt Wojnarowicz Elżbieta In the summer of 1942, Mr. Seifter managed to get his eleven-year-old daughter, Felicia, out of the Kraków ghetto and arranged for her to stay with Zygmunt and Elżbieta Wojnarowicz, who owned a farm in the village of Wawrzeńczyce, in the county of Miechów, in the Kraków district. The Wojnarowiczes gave Felicia a warm welcome, and looked after her devotedly without expecting anything in return. About a year later, she was transferred, as Elżbieta Smoleń, to a convent, for her own safety. The Wojnarowiczes also sheltered Marian Rozmaryn, an engineer, and his wife, Regina, whom they also looked after devotedly. In June 1943, members of the Gestapo burst into the farm, shot Rozmaryn and his wife dead and arrested Zygmunt Wojnarowicz, who was sent to Auschwitz, and later to the Dora camp, from which he never returned. After the war, Felicia Seifter (later Ela Manor) immigrated to Israel. On September 8, 1999, Yad Vashem recognized Elżbieta and Zygmunt Wojnarowicz as Righteous Among the Nations. File 8687
