Ghetto Fighters House Archives

Rysia Adler was born in 1938 in Warsaw (Warszawa), the daughter of Moshe and Beile Szapocznikow. In 1943, her father placed her in the care of a Polish Christian, Stefan Szumanski, with a letter from her family. The parents perished in the Holocaust. Szumanski hid the child with him until the liberation, and obtained for her an "Aryan" official document in the name of Ryszarda - Teresa Platek. The child was brought to Lodz on August 17, 1946, and redeemed by the Coordinatsia. Album 54, No. 1.

Notes: (1) Her current name: Rachel Wagner. (2) The Koordynacja ("Zionist Coordination") was an organization in postwar Poland which located and took care of Jewish children who had either been living with Christians, in hiding, with the partisans, or returned from the USSR.
