Florian Tschögl

Florian Tschögl (* 19th century or 20th century) was an Austrian rescuer of the Jews who was given the honorary title “ Righteous Among the Nations ” at the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem on September 13, 1979 .

Florian Tschögl served in the Wehrmacht in Moledeczno in Belarus in 1943 and had the task of guarding Red Army soldiers in a POW camp . The Arzichowski family also lived in this place - father, mother, two sons and a younger daughter. Anti-Semitic Poles denounced them as Jews in front of the German command and stated that they were inciting German soldiers.

Tschögl decided to save the family from deportation and certain death and refused to be denounced. From 1943 to 1944 he looked after the destitute family and protected them from all attacks. When they tried to arrest the family's daughter, Sarah, Tschögl even took her in.

The Arzichowski family was only able to survive the war with the help of Florian Tschögl.
