A graffiti mural honoring Holocaust hero Tibor Baranski, who saved the lives of thousands of Jews in Hungary, is set to be unveiled in NoLIta on the first night of Hanukkah.
On a wall outside Spring Street’s Vig Bar, Queens-born graffiti artisthas been spray painting a 35-foot-by-12-foot image of the late Tibor Baranski, a young Catholic priest who who faced death in rescuing at least 3,000 Jews during Nazi occupation.
In 1944, the 22-year-old Budapest cleric saw it as his religious duty to aid Jews being persecuted and killed by the Nazis in his homeland. The Good Samaritan barely survived a death march after being captured by Soviets in 1945. He fled Hungary for Italy during the 1956 revolution, where he eventually left the priesthood and married his wife, Katalin,. Together they eventually moved the US, settling in Buffalo, NY, where he lived until his death in 2019.
