In 1984-85 the Bochner family of Pilzno proposed to Yad Vashem that the Polish family that sheltered them during the war be named Righteous Gentiles. See https://www.yadvashem.org/righteous/statistics.html.

In 1986 Yad Vashem did name the Bradlo family “Righteous Gentiles”.

The Polish family consisted of the father, Szczepan Bradlo, his wife Klara, their sons Antoni, Tadeusz and Eugeniusz, and daughter Franciszka.

The family lived on a three-hectare farm at Lubcza, about 4 miles south of Pilzno. The Jews they sheltered were Rachel Bochner, her three children and their spouses, one grandchild, three brothers named Reich, and two single men, Abe Einspruch and Israel Hamel, all of Pilzno. The family and the fugitives built a “bunker” under the floor of the barn, in which they spent over two years, till the end of the war. Although poor, the family shared all they had with the refugees for over two years. All survived the war.

Brothers Harry and Michael Bochner, Michael’s wife Rachel, Abraham Einspruch and Israel Hamel signed a deposition in September 24, 1984 sent to Yad Vashem. Abraham Einspruch, Rachel Bochner and Helen Bochner Cohen sent separate letters to Yad Vashem. Franciszko Bradlo Kozick sent a statement. This material is reproduced here.
