Zofia Olszakowska-Glazer 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 Zofia Olszakowska-Glazer as Polish educator and resistance member.
Zofia Olszakowska-Glazer was born at Warsaw in 1915. Her recorded nationality is Poland. She was educated at SGH Warsaw School of Economics.
By occupation Zofia Olszakowska-Glazer was economist - 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 (1989) and Commander of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
Zofia Olszakowska-Glazer died in 2007, aged 92. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
