Join us in honoring the heroic Ulma family, also known as “The Samaritans of Markowa,” who will be beatified by the Church for their selfless actions during World War II. Despite the risks, Józef and Wiktoria Ulma and their seven children, including an unborn child, hid eight Jews in their home in Markowa, Poland. This act of love and compassion led to their tragic deaths at the hands of the Nazi regime. The Ulmas’ bravery and sacrifice are a reminder of the importance of valuing and protecting every human life. Learn more about their inspiring story and the beatification process from Witold Burda, the Postulator of the Beatification Process of the Ulma Family.
