Karolina Juszczykowska (1 July 1898 – 9 January 1945) was a Polish worker in the kitchen division of Organisation Todt who was executed for hiding two Jews during The Holocaust.
[1][2][3][4] Juszczykowska said that she had met two Jewish men, named Janek and Paweł, who asked her to shelter them.
She agreed, and let them hide in her house from the Nazis, where they lived in the basement and slept on the floor to avoid being seen.
Two weeks later, her trial was held and the Piotrkow Sondergericht courts gave Juszczykowska a death sentence.
In May 2011, she was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem and a plaque was dedicated to Juszczykowska near her apartment in 2020.
