ULMA Family. The beatification cause, initiated in 2003 for an entire Polish family, is being moved forward by the relevant authorities in Rome. Already honoured by the title of "Righteous Among the Nations" by Israel, the Ulma family were executed by the German-Nazis on March 24, 1944, in the Markowa.
Before the German-Nazis invaded Poland, Hitler announced, "The destruction of Poland is our primary task." He also commanded, "Kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space we need." Hitler's head of secret police, Heinrich Himmler, promised that "all Poles will disappear from the world."
POLAND'S HOLOCAUST: 6 MILLION CITIZENS DEAD
(3 MILLION CHRISTIANS and 3 MILLION JEWS)
Poland lost six million citizens or about one-fifth of its population: three million of the dead were Polish Christians, predominantly Catholic, and the other three million were Polish Jews.
Zbigniew Brzezinski writes "Zegota is the story of extraordinary heroism...tantamount to 'Schindler's List' multiplied a hundred-fold."
Sheltering or helping Jews in German-occupied Poland posed a serious danger to anyone doing it. Poland was the only country where the German-Nazis ordered a death penalty not only for the persons directly aiding them but even for the neighbors living nearby.

Sefardi: Many people in Poland were quite poor, including Christian Poles. There were many Jews who benefited greatly in Poland. What? Did you expect every single Jew who lived in Poland to be wealthy? It was not possible just like every Christian in Poland could not be wealthy. In every society you have the wealthy, the middle class and the poor. For the Jews , Poland in a sense was "Paradise" because they found safe haven there from other European countries from which they were expelled.

German murdered Jew in Home who owner was Pole.... and after that Jew said to Pole "You murderer".

@randy95023 Irena Sendler was activist of Żegota organisation (Council to Aid Jews)- head of children departament. It is estimated that about half of the Jews who survived the war (thus over 50,000) were aided in some shape or form by Żegota. There are 6,195 Polish men and women recognized as "Righteous" to this day. Sendler is one of Them.

The Polish people suffered more than almost any other in the war. God Bless people like Ms. Sendler who contributed at personal risk to help ease the suffering of some. Whoever thinks that "one person" can't make a difference is wrong. One person can make a tremendous difference. Collectively we are so much more than "just one"...

Much of the News Media will embrace phony speeches and meaningless Nobel Prize....but stories like this need to be told and retold. They nourish our spirit, and guide us in ways, no world leader could even imagine.

God bless I. S.

Of course one person couldn`t done so much because She was member of underground Żegota organisation (Council to Aid Jews). The Council to Aid Jews operated under the auspices of the Polish Government in Exile through the Government Delegation for Poland, in Warsaw. Żegota's express purpose was to aid the country's Jews and find places of safety for them in occupied Poland. Poland was the only country in occupied Europe where there existed such a dedicated secret organization.

@kshyshtov Yes and also it was the French police who rounded up the jews to be transported to the east. I weep when i read about the babies and infants transported on their own without parents in dirty filthy conditions to their deaths. its a stain on french history. May all the children be also sleeping with the angels and reunited with their parents. x x
