A few blocks from the Warsaw Ghetto where his forebears were imprisoned by Nazis, one Jewish man is offering help to Ukrainians in need.
Warsaw, Poland Jan Gerber handed his apartment keys to the family he had just met. The Ukrainian mother wanted to pay. No, insisted Gerber, this is free.
It was days after Russia invaded Ukraine and one of the countless acts of kindness being shown to those fleeing danger and reaching safety in Poland. But for Gerber, 42, it was very, very personal. "My family survived the war because someone helped them. They were refugees. That's the reason why I'm here," he said."Thanks to that time, I can help other people."Jan Gebert says he is happy to offer his own bed to Ukrainians arriving in Warsaw.
