4 unusual facts about Julian Grobelny


Julian Grobelny

The couple was famous for their preoccupation with saving particularly Jewish children from the Holocaust by entering the Warsaw Ghetto and walking out with them as their own.

Julian (pseudonym "Trojan") and Halina turned their modest house in Cegłów near Mińsk Mazowiecki into a temporary shelter for Jews until they could be moved into a more permanent place.

They offered protection to whoever needed it most, especially those who fled from the Ghetto.

In March 1944, the Gestapo arrested Grobelny without knowing about his clandestine work.
