9/10/23 - On Sunday Jozef and Wiltoria Ulma and their 7 children were beatified in their native Poland. The Umas were executed by the Nazis in March 1944 for sheltering jews on their farm. Wiktoria was pregnant with their 8th child. Beatification is one step before being Canonized as a Saint. In Rome, Pope Francis praised the Umas their heroism for giving their lives to save Jews during World War II.
