Summary

Bachner, a Polish Jew, was trapped in Warsaw when the Germans overran the country in September, 1939. He, his wife, and his parents moved into the Warsaw ghetto. Speaking fluent German and possessing an engineering degree from a German university, Bachner posed as an Aryan and was eventually able to get a job heading a crew of construction workers. He hired dozens of Polish Jews and supplied them with false identity papers, thus saving them from death.
