Róziewicz Józef & Anna (Kuciel); Son: Emil ; Son: Ferdynand

Róziewicz, Józef Róziewicz, Anna Róziewicz, Emil Róziewicz, Ferdynand-Michał File 3861 During the occupation, Józef and Anna Róziewicz and their two sons, Emil and Ferdynand-Michał, lived near the railroad station in Jaworów, Eastern Galicia. In the spring of 1943, as the liquidation of the Jews in the vicinity approached its culmination, the Róziewiczes rescued three Jewish acquaintances who were interned in the Bolechów labor camp, which the Germans were about to liquidate. Emil first delivered Gusta Klinger to his parents’ home and then did the same for Fruma Frisch and Shmuel Schor, Fruma’s boyfriend and future husband. The three Jewish refugees were concealed in the loft of a stable in the yard, and although they arrived lacking all possessions, the Roziewiczes —whose sole income was Józef’s salary as a railroad employee—shared their meager possessions with their wards and cared for them devotedly. The fugitives stayed in hiding with the Róziewiczes for more than a year, until the area was liberated in the summer of 1944. Afterwards, they remembered the Róziewiczes’ actions on their behalf and, after resettling in Israel, stayed in touch with them for many years. On May 25, 1988, Yad Vashem recognized Józef Róziewicz, his wife Anna, and their sons Emil and Ferdynand-Michał as Righteous Among the Nations.
