AMIT Students Fly From Israel to Poland to Bury Jewish Priest – This past fall, when Grzegorz Pawłowski passed away, teens from AMIT’s Yeshiva High School Ashdod high school, along with Rabbi Shalom Malul, traveled to Poland so that Pawłowski could have a Jewish burial, which was his final wish. | Jewish Journal

In 1931, Grzegorz Pawłowski was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Zamosc, Poland. When he was eight years old, he was placed in a ghetto. The Nazis took his father into forced labor and he was never seen again. His mother and sisters were subsequently murdered.
Pawłowski ended up in a Roman Catholic orphanage, which saved his life. When he got older, he became ordained as a priest and immigrated to Israel, where he worked with Roman Catholic communities for more than three decades.
