Wanda Semrad

Wanda Semrad (* in Poland ; † January 15, 1987 ) is an Austrian Righteous Among the Nations .

Life

In 1941 her husband Ludwig Semrad , who also wears this award, was entrusted with the management of a Polish cigarette factory that had been confiscated by Jews. In the years that followed, the Semrad couple took on numerous Jewish unskilled workers in the company to save them from deportation. In 1942, regardless of her own life, she saved the wife and three children of the Jewish director from arrest and hid them until they were liberated.

On January 11, 1979, Wanda and Ludwig Semrad were named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.
