Erwin Lutz is an Austrian "Righteous Among the Nations".
In 1944 the police officer Erwin Lutz was working as a chef in a prison in Innsbruck.
Together with police inspector Rudi Moser he decided to save five Jewish Polish girls from deportation into a concentration camp.
When orders came to transport all prisoners to KZ-Bergen-Belsen on January 18, 1945 they organized the escape of the five girls.
Erwin Lutz offered them his apartment in Ahorndorfstraße 3 as first shelter.
