A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - MIRON LISIKIEWICZ

You are here:

– Why don’t you run away instead of waiting for death? Save yourselves, I will help you,” whispered Dr Lisikiewicz to Jews passing by on the streets of Lesko. He organised shelter for them, supplied them with food, distributed money, gave them hope. He smuggled blank kennkarts into the ghetto – ready to be filled. He ran a clinic and a birthing room in the building where the German General Staff was located. He also hid… 3 Jewish women there. How many lives he saved – it is impossible to count. He modestly said: „If it were me, anyone would do the same”.
