Mieczysław Fogg holds the title Righteous Among the Nations, given by Yad Vashem to those who saved Jews during the Holocaust at risk to themselves.
The record lists Mieczysław Fogg as Polish singer (1901-1990).
Mieczysław Fogg was born at Warsaw in 1901. His recorded nationality is Poland.
By occupation Mieczysław Fogg was singer - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Rescue during the Holocaust was not a grand gesture but a sequence of small, repeatable risks taken over months or years.
Recognition: Medal of the 40th Anniversary of People's Poland, Medal of the 10th Anniversary of People's Poland and Commander with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
Mieczysław Fogg died in 1990, aged 89. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
