Oswald Bosko was an Austrian Righteous Among the Nations.
The Viennese bartender was a German sergeant in the Jewish ghetto of Kraków. He supported Julius Madritsch in rescuing Jews during World War II.
Heroic deeds
In March 1943 the Nazis decided to liquidate the ghetto in Kraków and to deport all children who lived there in order to kill them. Oswald Bosko and Julius Madritsch helped hundreds of children to escape the ghetto. He also found people who were willing to house them temporarily.
After the liquidation of the ghetto Bosko looked for Jewish families that hid from the Nazis. Whoever he found he managed to bring to Madritsch's textile factory. Then he organized a rescue.
The Gestapo found out about the rescue. Bosko was arrested, accused and then killed on 18 September 1944.
