The ceremony conferring the title was held in Bronisława Golonka’s apartment in Wrocław. One participant was Max Halpern, one of those rescued by the Golonka family. The Halpern family found shelter in the family farm. In the barn, the Golonka family dug a deep four-sided hole, covering it with boards. The Halpern family remained there for over half a year, until being liberated by the Red Army.
