Suchodolski, Adam Suchodolska, Stanisława Suchodolski, Stanisław Szaft-Suchodolska, Jadwiga Jadwiga Suchodolska lived with her family in the village of Krzynowłoga Wielka, in the county of Przasnysz, Warsaw district. One night in 1942, somebody knocked at the door. It was Michał Szaft. The Suchodolskis had been acquainted with his family before the war. Michael said he had managed to escape from the ghetto and asked for help. The Suchodolskis hid him in a covered hideaway in the hayloft. They brought him meals three times a day and Michał stayed there until the liberation, in January 1945. When he came out of the shelter, he fell ill and had to remain with the Suchodolskis. One day, a group of Polish nationalists entered the house and took Michał with them in order to murder him. Michał luckily escaped and returned to the Suchodolskis. After some time, Michał and Jadwiga married and, in 1957, they left for Israel. On July 15, 1975, Yad Vashem recognized Jadwiga Szaft-Suchodolska, her father, Adam Suchodolski, mother, Stanisława Suchodolska, and brother, Stanisław Suchodolski, as Righteous Among the Nations.
