Sergey Myaskovskiy
Myaskovskiy, Sergey Myaskovskaya, Olga Filatova (Myaskovskaya), Halina Myaskovskiy, Yuriy Sergey and Olga Myaskovskiy and their children Halina and Yuriy lived in Włodzimierz, district of Wołyń (today Volodymyr-Volyns’kyy, Volyn’ District). In early summer 1943, they hid Paulina Kamm, a Jewish acquaintance, in their home. Until the end of 1942, Kamm and her family had been confined in the local ghetto. In December 1942, Kamm’s parents and siblings were killed and she began to seek shelter in the homes of non-Jewish acquaintances in the area. They generally were too frightened to hide a Jew for more than a few days and it was only the Myaskovskiys who were prepared to afford her a permanent hiding place. Kamm stayed with the Myaskovskiys for almost a year, until the liberation, on June 23, 1944. Throughout this time, the Myaskovskiys treated her well and looked after her devotedly. After the war, Kamm (later Cohen) left the Soviet Union and she immigrated to Israel in the late 1940s. She renewed contact with the Myaskovskiy family in the 1980s. On May 31, 1988, Yad Vashem recognized Sergey and Olga Myaskovskiy, and their children, Halina Myaskovskaya and Yuriy Myaskovskiy, as Righteous Among the Nations.
