During the Second World War Franciszka Wójcicka and her son Mieczysław Wójciki gave shelter to a Jewish mother and her daughter in Klimontów near Sosnowiec, Poland. The Polish family doesn’t remember the names of the Jewish women, but has photos of the two of them. The women had dyed their hair blond so that they would look Polish.

Without providing documentation of the story of rescue and the testimonies of the Survivors, the Rescuers cannot be honored with the title “Righteous Among the Nations” given for saving Jews during the Holocaust.

Anyone who might know anything about this story of rescue of there women is asked to contact the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem: righteous.nations@yadvashem.org.il
