Wilhelm Bachner (1912–1991) was an engineer and Holocaust survivor who saved the lives of more than fifty Jews during World War II.[1]
While residing within the Warsaw Ghetto, Bachner hid his Jewish identity and took a job as an engineer in a German construction company. He used his connections to freely access the ghetto and assist his family and friends.[2]
As the construction company gained more military contracts, Bachner hired other Jews, helped them conceal their identities, and got his family and others out of ghettos and concentration camps.[2]
Most of the people he helped survived The Holocaust.[2]
