Świerczewski, Władysław Świerczewski, Stanisław Before the war, Władysław Świerczewski and his family were living in Plońsk (Warsaw District) as tenants in the home of the Neuman family. Władysław became friends with Elia (later, Edward Lejman), the son of his landlord, who was an outstanding soccer player in the town. He did not desert his Jewish friend at the time of the occupation. In December 1942, at the height of the deportations to Auschwitz, he helped Eli escape from the ghetto and for a time gave him shelter in his home, which was not far from the ghetto. Afterward, he found him a place to hide with W. Olszewski, a farmer in the neighboring village of Szerominek, where Eli remained until the liberation in January 1945. Throughout, Eli was under the protection of Władysław, whose young son, Stanisław, acted as the liaison between them. On July 5, 2004, Yad Vashem recognized Władysław and Stanisław Świerczewski as Righteous Among the Nations.
