Ziegler’s brother transferred him to the Aryan side of Dębica, hid him with his friends, the Remuts, and arranged to join him later. Although Ziegler’s older brother was caught and killed by the Germans, the Remuts, a Catholic family, decided to let Yehuda, who was a complete stranger to them, stay. Wojciech and Stefania Remut, and their children, Józef, Kazimierz, Feliks and Alfons, did their best to raise Ziegler’s spirits, as he was suicidal after his brother’s death. Stefania and the boys became very close to him, especially young Feliks. Stefania, as well as looking after Ziegler devotedly, also looked after another brother of Ziegler’s who was interned in the nearby Bieżanów labor camp. Almost each month for a whole year, Stefania, at great personal risk, visited Ziegler’s brother and brought him food, clothes, and cigarettes. In risking their lives for Jews, the Remuts were guided by humanitarian and religious considerations. After the war, Juda Ziegler immigrated to Israel where, for, many years, he kept up contact with his saviors. On July 8, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Stefania and Wojciech Remut, and their children, Józef, Kazimierz, Feliks and Alfons, as Righteous Among the Nations.
