On the European Day of the Righteous, we recall the bravery and sacrifice of those who risked their own fate in order to save Jewish lives during the WWII German occupation of Europe. Some of them paid the ultimate price. These are the #Righteous that were deported to #Majdanek. 
#Righteous Daniel Trocmé, a French teacher from Les Roches, who participated in the organised help to the local Jewish community by providing Jews with shelters & false identities. Arrested on 29.06.1943 he went through several camps & perished at #Majdanek on 02.04.1944.
#Righteous Tadeusz Kosibowicz, a Polish doctor ran a hospital ward in Silesia. He treated patients of all origins, including Jews hiding under false identities. One German patient reported him to the Gestapo. Deported to #Majdanek in 1941 he stayed at the camp until April 1944.
#Righteous Fr. Andrzej Osikowicz helped Jews by providing them with forged documents & giving shelter to Jewish children hidden in various parishes and catholic houses. He was deported to #Majdanek from the Gestapo prison in Lviv in February 1943 & died at the camp on 29.12.1943.
