Kipras Petrauskas (November 23, 1885 – January 17, 1968) was an Lithuanian operatic tenor (created around 80 roles), professor, and Lithuanian Association of Artists member. The national opera foundation is associated with him.[1][2][3] He was married to Elena Žalinkevičaitė-Petrauskienė.[4] In 1942, he was asked to hide a Jewish baby girl, Dana Pomeranz, which he and his wife agreed to.[5] To hide the girl better, he and his wife left the city, moving first to a Lithuanian village, and later to Austria and then Germany.[5] In 1947 they came back to Lithuania, and they found Dana's parents and gave her back to them.[5]
In 1999 Petrauskas and his wife were recognized by Yad Vashem as two of the Righteous Among the Nations.[5]
