Maria Rogowska-Falska is recorded at Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations - one of the non-Jews who risked everything to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust.
The record lists Maria Rogowska-Falska as Polish teacher (1877-1944).
Maria Rogowska-Falska was born at Dubno in 1877. Her recorded nationality is Poland.
By occupation Maria Rogowska-Falska was teacher - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Most rescuers said afterwards that they had done nothing remarkable. The historical record disagrees, which is the point of recording it.
Recognition: Righteous Among the Nations (1985) and Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
Maria Rogowska-Falska died in 1944, aged 67. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
