- Second lieutenant Jerzy Zakulski (28 June 1911 – 31 July 1947) was an attorney in interwar Poland, and World War II member of the National Armed Forces (Narodowe Sily Zbrojne, NSZ) in German-occupied Poland.
- He was sentenced to death and executed by Stalinist officials in Soviet-controlled postwar Poland, on trumped-up charges of being an enemy spy.A Jewish Holocaust survivor from Kraków, Maria Bleszynska née Bernstein, attempted to save Zakulski's life in gratitude for his rescue of her and her daughter during the Holocaust in Poland; however, she was unsuccessful.
- The certified letter she sent to the Regional Military Court in Warsaw was thrown out, along with his plea for presidential mercy.
