Dr.+Henryk+Slawik

__Dr.Henryk Slawik:A Hero of the Holocaust__ Dr. Henryk Slawik was born in Szeroka,Poland in 1894. He died in 1944 in a concentration camp in Austria with his friends. He was a great man. Let me tell you about him. Henryk Slawik went to a secondary school, and when he graduated, he was drafted into the military during WWI. He got released from the military in 1918, and went to Upper Silesia to become a politician and to Warsaw for extra training. He became a journalist for the Gazeta Robotnicza, and then became the Editor-in-Chief one year later. He got married to Jadwiga Purzycka in 1928. In 1939, when the Germans invaded Poland, Henryk Slawik joined the Polish mobilized police that was attached to the Krakow Army. When his battalion retreated along the Northern Carpathians, and defended mountain passes leading to Slovakia. He was then sent to Budapest and created the Citizen's Committee for Help for Polish Refugees because he spoke fluent French. The Citizen’s Committee for Help for Polish Refugees was made to help Polish prisoners of war and refugees.  He was a hero because he saved and improved so many peoples’ lives. He does this while risking his own life, and these are mainly people he doesn't know. He is a hero because he stood for what he thought was right, and didn't let someone [Nazis] bully someone else [Jews]. Dr. Slawik was an amazing man, and died for; what he believed in, and for other people.
