Eleven Nuns of Nowogrodek

[imhotep1]

I love that painting by Ada Styka called the "Eleven Nuns of Nowgrodek".

HItler was a stupid, dumb, bastard... he martyred these holy nuns..

I''d like to know what happened to the Nazi Bastards who murdered these women? Did they even do a year? Judging from what I read about the light sentences given at Nuremburg, I'm guessing they may have not even been prosecuted. You should read Daniel Goldhagen's book entitled Hitler's Executioners. It gives you an idea of the psychopathy behind this kind of madness

when are people going to understand that it's NOT the habit that makes the nun, but the commitment to service to the community?

THESE WERE NUNS!! Unlike the ones who've thrown away their habits.

I visited the place of their execution in Nowogrodek and it was quite a calming place

I cherish the memory of the city and place

that's wonderful; surely a memory you will never forget. The world needs more like these!
