In
Memory Of Wilm Hosenfeld
A German Wehrmacht officer who believed in helping others, even at the risk of getting himself killed - a man who had the courage to stand against
evil. Wilm Hosenfeld achieved world-wide fame as the rescuer of the
Polish-Jewish pianist and composer Wladyslaw Szpilman, when Polanski's
film "The Pianist" won the Golden Palm in Cannes and 3 Academy
Awards.
Many, many people around the world, including Andrzej Szpilman, the son
of the pianist, has been
demanding, for years now, that Yad Vashem honor Wilm Hosenfeld as a Righteous
Among the Nations: non-Jews who risked their lives in order to
rescue Jews.
