Jozef and Wiktoria Ulma and their family were murdered by the Nazis in March 1944 for sheltering a Jewish family. “At the time of the massacre, Signora Wiktoria Ulma was in an advanced state of pregnancy with her seventh child,” the statement from the dicastery said. The Ulma family were killed for sheltering a Jewish family for 18 months, according to the supporting documents accompanying the beatification, which is the final step before sainthood. The Jewish family were also murdered. Czarek Sokolowski/APThis will be the first time an entire family has been elevated toward sainthood, according to the Vatican’s media office.

Un bărbat în vârstă de 53 de ani şi fiul său de 15 ani au fost ucişi de fulger, în timp ce păşteau vitele. Ciobanii păşteau vitele lângă un lac. La un moment dat a început furtuna, cu tunete şi fulgere. După ce păstorii au adunat vitele, unul din ciobani i-a găsit pe cei doi fără suflare sub un copac şi a informat sătenii. Experții nu au găsit urme de violenţă pe corpurile celor decedaţi, ci doar urme specifice fulgerului, asemănătoare arsurilor.
