Julius Madritsch (4 August 1906 – 11 June 1984) was a Viennese Austrian businessman who helped to save the lives of Jews during the Holocaust.

[2] Similar to Oskar Schindler, Madritsch gained a reputation as a good man who treated his Jewish workers well; he was "wonderful to his Jews".

[11] Just before the Kraków Ghetto was liquidated in March 1943, Madritsch worked with Oswald Bosko to allow many families, particularly those with children, into his nearby factory; thus saving more Jews from death.

[12] On 25 March 1943, only twelve days after the liquidation of the Kraków Ghetto, Madritsch and Titsch transferred as many Jews as they could by train to Bochnia and Tarnów.

[13] Madritsch had to intervene constantly with the SS, the police and the Labor Office to obtain work permits for his Jews.

General Government labor officials charged that Madritsch was "a saboteur of the Jewish transfer [into the ghetto] and could encounter difficulties with the Gestapo".

This apparently did not deter Madritsch, who hired an increasing number of Jews, claiming that they were "important to the war effort".

At the end of August 1944 Płaszów commandant Amon Göth liquidated the Tarnów ghetto, the largest one remaining in West Galicia.

[17] After the war, however, their friendship soured because of a dispute over the transfer of some of Madritsch's Jews to Schindler's factory and related matters.
