By creating fake documents, an 18-year-old Adolfo Kaminsky helped the French resistance save as many as 14,000 Jews during WWII. Anderson Cooper met 92-year-old Kaminsky in 2017, and reported on how he used his stain-removing skills to forge official documents. Kaminsky died in January 2023.

Not to mention the talent and fortitude it took to complete these documents. He is so humble that he won't display the numerous awards and metals he received saving all those children and adults. I have so much admiration for him! Thanks for sharing this 😊

In addition to all the special Metals bestowed on Mr Kaminsky, there ABSOLUTELY needs to be a special STATUE of him & some of the other known Resistance Fighters - they would be symbolic of representing the hundreds or thousands of Resistance Fighters that risked their lives in order to save lives & defeat Hitler’s Army!!! I can’t even imagine how many people resisted the German Army!! They are incredible humble warrior!! Thank you to them!!

Polish resistance which was the largest resistance against the German Nazis in occupied Europe, and that saved the most Jews during WWII needs to be talked about more. Reports like this one should be done about The Polish Righteous, as the Poles have the largest number of trees out of all Righteous Among the Nations today, it is even more impressive because of the fact that the German occupation was the most brutal in Poland.

Adolfo died January 2023. This only shows his wartime career; post war he continued as a forger for groups fighting colonialism. He worked for Irgun and Stern gangs, but then stopped all his government work in Israel when it became clear they were embedding discrimination against non-Jews and elevating the Chief Rabbinate to a senior officer of state. He resigned from his work with the French Army over the Indo China war. Well worth reading more about him.

Kaminsky is an ethnic Polish surname, not French, and in the original Polish language it's written Kamiński with a Polish letter ń. In fact, I'm Polish, and I'm also Kamińska, so from the same family tree.😃 My full name is Natalia Małgorzata (Margaret) Kamińska. So he may be born in France, but he clearly has Polish roots.

Just incredible, what an inspiration, this is why democracy and freedom should never be taken for granted, I have always said, we have so much to thankful for people like Mr. Kaminsky and all those un recognized individuals who stepped up for what humanity should be. Remember that it can be taken away very easily. see this famous quote : by Martin Niemöller First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
