Irena Adamowicz (1910 - 1963), "Righteous Among the Nations" from Poland. Irena Adamowicz, a member of the Polish Scouts movement (Harcerz Polski), was close to the "Ha - Shomer ha - Tsair" Zionist youth movement, participating in its educational and social activities. During the war, she carried out daring liaison missions for the Jewish underground in the ghettos of Warsaw, Vilnius (Vilna), Bialystok, Kaunas (Kovno) and Siauliai. Besides the important information she transmitted, her visits provided great moral support and encouragement to the isolated ghetto residents. With her aid, connections were maintained between the underground of the Jewish ghettos and the Armia Krajowa Polish underground.

Dr. Petras Baublys

Pediatrician and head of an orphanage in Kovno, Lithuania.

During the war, an underground Jewish organization active in the Kovno Ghetto asked Baublys if the orphanage, situated in the same section of the city as the ghetto, could be used as a temporary place of refuge for Jewish children and a steppingstone for moving Jewish children to safer, permanent locations. Baublys agreed; over time, tens of Jewish babies and children were admitted into the orphanage. Some were even left on the orphanage's doorstep by their mothers. Children who could speak a bit of Lithuanian were kept in the orphanage for longer amounts of time, while children who could not speak the language or were older than the rest of the orphans were quickly sent to live with Lithuanian families. Whenever Baublys would visit a sick child, he would treat him for free. Only a few members of the orphanage staff were told about Baublys's rescue activities, in order to decrease the chances of getting caught or being betrayed.

In 1977 Baublys was posthumously awarded the title “Righteous Among theNations by Yad Vashem. His brother Sergejus and sister-in-law Jadvyga were also recognized as "Righteous among the Nations" for hiding a Jewish child in their home.
