Kipras Petrauskas (December 5, 1885 as Ciprijonas Petrauskas – January 17, 1968) was a Lithuanian and Soviet 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 do.[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, 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]
Kipras Petrauskas made his first recordings for Vox (Berlin 1922), then Odeon (1926 and 1928) and finally Columbia (Vilnius, ca. 1933).
