Among the names Yad Vashem honours as Righteous Among the Nations is Stefania Sempołowska.
The record lists Stefania Sempołowska as Polish writer (1869-1944).
Stefania Sempołowska was born at Polonisz in 1869. Her recorded nationality is Poland.
By occupation Stefania Sempołowska was journalist, writer and teacher - 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: Righteous Among the Nations (2017).
Stefania Sempołowska died in 1944, aged 75. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
