Tragic fate of Poles and Jews

Józef and Wiktoria Ulma and their seven children, including one unborn, from the village of Podkarpacie in Markowa, were killed by the Germans during World War II because they had hidden Jewish families in their homes: the Goldmans, Dider and Grünfeld. Ulmas was killed along with the Jews they were hiding.

The Ulma family beatification ceremony is scheduled for September 10, 2023. Information about the beatification appeared on the PKP Intericity locomotive that was presented at the Central Railway Station, where an exhibition on the history of the Ulma family was also held. – The locomotive will remind thousands of people of the history of the Ulma family, which all Poles are so proud of – said Wojciech Kolarski, Secretary of State in the Presidential Chancellery of the Republic of Poland, member of the Presidential Committee for the Celebration of the Beatification of the Ulma Family during a press conference.
