Zvi Zimmerman

Zvi Henryk Zimmerman (Hebrew: צבי הנריק צימרמן, born 2 January 1913, died 10 June 2006) was a Zionist activist, jurist, and Israeli politician.

There, he met Dr. Henryk Sławik, the leader of the Polish Civic Committee for Relief for Refugees.

The Polish government in exile (based in London) authorized the cooperation, which was possible thanks to the help of the Hungarian authorities - including Dr. József Antall Sr. (the father of future prime minister of Hungary József Antall), the head of Department IX of the Ministry of Interior Affairs (responsible for refugees of all nations), and Countess Szapary.

In 1959, he was elected to the Fourth Knesset for the General Zionists (which later merged into the Liberal Party), and was a member of the Internal Affairs and House Committees.

Following the fall of the Iron Curtain, he decided to visit Poland and Hungary in order to pay back his debt to Sławik and Antall.

[6] Thanks to Zimmerman's efforts, Sławik was awarded the Righteous Among the Nations title by Yad Vashem in 1992.
