Adolfo Kaminsky
Adolfo Kaminsky was a French resistance fighter during World War II, known for using his chemistry skills to forge identity documents that saved the lives of approximately 14,000 Jewish people from Nazi persecution. Born in 1925 to a Jewish family that fled Eastern Europe, Kaminsky utilized his knowledge of inks and paper to create counterfeit documents that allowed individuals to evade arrest and deportation. His work was done in secrecy and urgency, often at great personal sacrifice. After the war, he lived a quiet life as a photographer, keeping his heroic past largely hidden until later in life when he began to share his story. Kaminsky passed away in 2023 at the age of 97, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and humanity.
