The beatification of this family was exceptional, as the couple’s newborn seventh child was also beatified, although he was not baptized.

For the first time, the Vatican has beatified a Polish family that sheltered Jews from the Nazis during World War II, Deutsche Welle reports.

It was reported that the murdered large Polish family – 44-year-old Jozef Ulma, his pregnant 31-year-old wife Victoria and six young children (under the age of eight) – were- beatified.

German police killed them on March 24, 1944, after the Nazis heard that a family of eight Jews was hiding in their attic. Jews were also killed.

More than 30 thousand people took part in the beatification ceremony in the town of Markovia in Poland, which included a delegation from Israel.

Beatification means that the deceased person ascends to heaven and can intercede for those who pray in his name. This is an important step in the eventual “path to elect holiness” in the Catholic Church.

It is worth noting that the beatification of this family was exceptional, because the newly born seventh child of the couple was also beatified, although he was not baptized.

It is known that Józef Ulma was a farmer, fond of photography and documented the life of his family and the entire village. He and his wife were devout Catholics, and in Israel the couple were recognized as Righteous Among the Nations. There is a museum in Markovia dedicated to this family, and the day of their death is a day of remembrance for Poles who saved or tried to save Jews during the German occupation.

Let us remind you that in the spring Russian troops shot Babi Yar in Kyiv.
