Józef Światło (born Izaak Fleischfarb) (Medyn, 1 January 1915 – 2 September 1994, USA) was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Public Security of Poland (deputy director of the 10th Department run by Anatol Fejgin). He was nicknamed "Butcher" – the torture master – by the MBP prisoners. After the death of Stalin and the arrest of Lavrentiy Beria in 1953, Światło travelled on the Berlin subway with Fejgin through the West Berlin sector where he "slipped away" and defected to the West.
