It was 65 years in the making, but a Holocaust survivor finally got a chance to personally thank the Polish rabbit farmer who saved her life in World War II, in an emotional, tear-filled reunion at Kennedy Airport yesterday.

The last time Sara Marmurek saw Wladysaw Misiuna was for a brief moment in their native Poland in 1945. Before that, she was a prisoner in a concentration camp where he worked as a supervisor. And Sara says in the midst of the Holocaust, Misiuna’s kind heart saved her life and others.

She greeted her savior, who arrived from Warsaw, with flowers and a hug.

In 1943, Misiuna was assigned to raising rabbits to feed workers and German soldiers at an arms factory in eastern Poland.

Marmurek had been sent to the same facility as a slave laborer.

Appalled at the treatment of Jews, Misiuna requested that Marmurek and four young Jewish women work with him.

He sneaked them food and medicine. All of the women he helped survived the war — but he almost didn’t. The Nazis caught him helping Jews, and sentenced him to death, but he fled.

The tearful meeting was arranged by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, a charity that recognizes gentiles who risked their lives to help Jews. Among other things, the group provides them financial support.
