Julius Madritsch
In 1964 Julius Madritsch was honoured as a “Righteous Among the Nations” by Yad Vashem.
In 1940 Julius Madritsch was called up to the German Wehrmacht. Being a trained draper he was appointed trustee of two Jewish clothing manufactures in Krakow. There he saved the lives of thousands of Jews and also sought to make their lives more bearable. Furthermore, he even set up new workshops in towns and camps like Plaszow, Bochnia and Tarnow to help as many Jews as possible.
He was arrested but soon released due to his close connections to SS soldiers. Then he even managed to have another one hundred Jews added to Oskar Schindler’s list. He was portrayed in the 1993 film Schindler's List by Hans-Jörg Assmann.
