Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes a testimony submitted to the Central Jewish Historical Commission just after the war by Józef Ubfal, who before the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising worked at a metal products factory at Bonifraterska St. 11/13, owned by Ivar Holger Mikkelsen. Ubfal recalls not only the fate of those who were on the premises of this factory in April 1943, but also the hitherto unknown attempt by a Danish citizen to save some Warsaw Jews. Mikkelsen, a pre-war businessman married Helena, née Zuckerwar during the occupation, made efforts to save his relatives, friends, as well as Jews employed at the factory he had taken over, including the Ubfal family.
