Once the four refugees rested enough , it was decided that a bunker would be dug beneath the cowshed , as a more permanent hideout for themselves , with the Nazi threat of the death penalty looming over everyone , including the Jasiński children . However , the place became unsafe after just two months , as soon as the Jasinskis became widely known as sheltering Jews on their farm . The fugitives left and hid even deeper in the forest , where they remained until the arrival of the Red Army in July 1944 . They were lucky enough to survive the massacres of Poles in Volhynia by Ukrainian nationalists which went on since 1943 , however , they were caught by the Ukrainian assassins in August 1944 already behind the Russian front . Akiba Kremer , Szaje Odler and Josef Liderman were murdered . After the war – once her father died – Emilia Slodkowska emigrated to the United States . Szmuel Liderman , who was the only surviving fugitive hidden by her , learned about her address years later and the two began corresponding . He submitted a deposition on her behalf to Yad Vashem ; and , on February 28 , 1985 , Yad Vashem awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations to both , Stanisław Jasiński ( posthumously ) and his daughter , Emilia Słodkowska ( née Jasińska ) for their bravery
