Righteous gentiles honoured

St Kilda Shule hosted a Righteous Among the Nations ceremony recently honouring two Polish gentiles who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Family members of Righteous Gentiles Rena (Irena) Skowronska and Wilhelm Spisky spoke at the ceremony, saying they had never mentioned the events during their lifetimes.
