dbo:abstract | Jan and Anna Puchalski were a Polish husband and wife who lived in the village of Łosośna in north-eastern Poland on the outskirts of Grodno (now 20 km into Belarus) during the Nazi German occupation of Poland. Together, they rescued Polish Jews from the Holocaust, including escapees from the ghetto in Grodno before its brutal liquidation.

At the onset of World War II, Jan Puchalski worked at a tobacco company, where he earned a small salary. The Puchalskis resided as innkeepers in a summer cottage, in the Łosośna forest. The cottage was owned by an entrepreneurial Zandman family who leased similar cottages to city tourists before the war, with Grodno’s reputation as a retreat, confirmed by its century-old summer palace of the Polish kings. The Puchalskis were very poor, having to support five children: 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old daughters and two toddlers (Władysław and Wanda) age 1 and 2. On the evening of the Nazi German murderous raid on Grodno Ghetto which took place on February 13, 1943, six Jews who escaped, showed up at Puchalskis door. Among them, much-loved Felix Zandman of the Zandman family (age 15) who used to play with their children before the war, Sender Freydowicz (his uncle) who lost his wife and two children to the Nazis, Mottel Bass and his wife Goldie, and two more Jewish fugitives. They stayed with the Puchalskis for 17 months. Meanwhile, the ghetto in Grodno was razed by the Germans with all of its 29,000 Jews deported in Holocaust trains, and exterminated in gas chambers of Auschwitz and Treblinka.

Ян и Анна со своими детьми жили в деревне Великая Лососна на северо-востоке Польши на окраине Гродно во время нацистской оккупации Польши. Вместе они спасли польских евреев от Холокоста, в том числе беглецов из Гродненского гетто до его жестокой ликвидации. Среди спасённых был в будущем выдающийся учёный Феликс Зандман, а также его дядя Сендер Фрейдович, супруги Мотель и Голда Басс, Борка Шулькес, Меер Замошчанский Анна, мать пятерых детей, работала до войны сторожем дачи семьи Фрейдовичей. Когда-то она родила дочь в еврейском госпитале, куда её за свой счёт устроила бабушка Феликса Тэма. Основным местом, в котором спасённые провели 17 месяцев, стала вырытая ими яма-убежище размером 1,7 × 1,5 и глубиной 1,2 метра. Пухальские посмертно были удостоены титулов праведников народов мира Яд ва-Шем в июне 1986 года. Почётные медали были вручены их старшей дочери Ирене на церемонии в Иерусалиме 14 июня 1987 года. Дети Пухальских также по традиции посадили дерево в саду Праведников мира. 19 октября 1987 года были признаны праведниками и их дочери — Ирена, Кристина и Сабина. Один из внуков Яна и Анны Пухальских является вице-президентом компании Феликса Зандмана. (ru) |
