Stories of rescuers: Remigiusz Węgrzynowicz
ID:
211
One of the most difficult trials for Jews hiding indoors was constant confinement, lack of access to air and light, and constant stress due to fear of exposure. This story shows how important psychological support was as one's resource to rescue.
The story is a part of the theme Reactions of Lvivians to Holocaust, which was prepared within the program The Complicated Pages of Common History: Telling About World War II in Lviv.
