Henryk Sławik, known as the "Polish Wallenberg," was a Polish diplomat who, during WWII, helped save over 30,000 Polish refugees — including 5,000 Polish Jews — in Budapest by providing false documents, accommodation, and assistance for onward travel. He was arrested, tortured, and executed by the SS in the German concentration camp KL Mauthausen-Gusen. Sławik was one of approximately 28,000 Poles murdered there.
Henryk Sławik was born on 16 July 1894.
