Wawrzyniec Żuławski 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 Wawrzyniec Żuławski as Alpinist, composer, writer (1916-1957).
Wawrzyniec Żuławski was born at Zakopane in 1916. His recorded nationality is Poland.
By occupation Wawrzyniec Żuławski was composer, music critic and writer - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Yad Vashem's criteria are strict: the rescuer must have risked their life, liberty or position, and must have sought no payment. That is why the title carries the weight it does.
Recognition: Righteous Among the Nations (1980) and Medal of the 10th Anniversary of People's Poland (1955).
Wawrzyniec Żuławski died in 1957, aged 41. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
