On May 23, 1978, Yad Vashem of Israel recognized Leopold and Magdalena Socha as Righteous Among the Nations. In 1981 Stefan Wróblewski and his wife Anna received the same honor.
In 1946 Socha and his daughter were riding their bicycles when a Soviet military truck came careening toward them. He steered his bicycle in her direction to knock her out of the way, saving her but dying in the process. After his death the Jewish people Socha had sheltered returned to pay their respects.
Socha lived in a poor neighborhood of Lwów and worked for the municipal sanitation department and secretly as a burglar and thief. In 1943, he began hiding twenty Jewish refugees in sewage canals in German-occupied Lwów. The Jews had fled through their floorboards to evade German capture.
