Bonsoir,

"British Heroes of the Holocaust
Factsheet
Sergeant Charles Coward
1905-1976
He was captured near Calais in 1940, and in 1943 was sent to
the prisoner of war camp at Monowitz (known as Auschwitz III).
While at Monowitz, he endeavoured to help the Jews
imprisoned there and also managed to send coded messages
to the British authorities, with details of the numbers of Jewish
transports. On one occasion he swapped clothes with an
inmate and spent the night in the Jewish camp, where he
witnessed first hand the terrible conditions. Coward is believed
to have saved 400 Jewish prisoners. He was recognised as
‘Righteous Among the Nations’ by Yad Vashem, Israel’s
Holocaust Memorial authority in 1965. In 2003 Coward was
commemorated with the mounting of a blue plaque at his home
at 133 Chichester Road, Edmonton, London, where he lived
from 1945 until his death."
