Jerzy Pozimski was one of the longest-serving prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was given a job in the camp, and in that capacity, he was able to move between the different parts of the camp and make contact with the prisoners,<\/p>\n

as well as influence their transfer between jobs. Pozimski made contact with a group of female prisoners working in the camp command post who had access to the prisoners\u2019 cards.<\/p>\n

At their request, Pozimski carried out tasks for them to save the lives of their relatives or friends by moving them to different jobs; taking them from more physically<\/p>\n

demanding jobs to easier jobs in more protected surroundings.<\/p>\n

Pozimski brought food, clothing and medicines vital for their survival to Jewish prisoners.<\/p>\n

In this way, he saved a prisoner named Kleinh\u00e4ndler, who was already critically ill, and the 16-year-old Jacub (Jakob) Maestro, who arrived in Auschwitz in March 1943<\/p>\n

on a transport from Salonika. Pozimski took Maestro off the transport and used him as an assistant and interpreter, and through him was able to help other prisoners.<\/p>\n

In order to facilitate things for Jewish prisoners, Pozimski tried to place them on construction jobs on which Polish prisoners also worked, so that they could engage<\/p>\n

in the barter of vital commodities. The Jewish women prisoners, who together with Pozimski helped the Jewish prisoners, later testified to Pozimski\u2019s courage,<\/p>\n

that he had acted courageously to save Jews during the terrible times in the Auschwitz camp.<\/p>\n

In January of 1975, Pozimski was invited to Israel in honor of the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and he spent time with former prisoners, including Jacub Maestro.<\/p>\n

On April 6, 1989, Yad Vashem recognized Jerzy Pozimski as Righteous Among the Nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
