Pacek Stanisława ; Son: Leszek ; Son: Jerzy

Pacek, Stanisława Pacek, Leszek Pacek, Jerzy Stanisława Pacek was a teacher and during the occupation, she lived in the village of Prawiedniki, near Lublin, with her two sons Leszek and Jerzy. After her entire family perished, 12-year-old Sara Kraus fled from the Warsaw ghetto. After much wandering, she arrived in Prawiedniki, where Pacek, a widow, took her in. She and her two sons took the girl under their wing and safeguarded her life. Eventually, seven-year-old Basia Klig and her mother also arrived at their home after fleeing from the Lublin ghetto and wandering for some time throughout the local countryside. In her testimony many years later, Klig would relate that Stanisława Pacek had been a wonderful woman, who motivated only by love of humanity and without asking for or receiving anything in return, gave the fugitives emotional and physical succor, teaching them how to preserve their human dignity even under inhuman conditions. Despite the danger to her life and the lives of her sons, Pacek persevered in her rescue efforts, doing everything in her power to help the people she had taken in. After the war, all the survivors immigrated to Israel. On February 7, 1995, Yad Vashem recognized Stanisława Pacek and her sons Leszek Pacek and Jerzy Pacek as Righteous Among the Nations.
