108
Polish Martyrs of World War II (1939-1945) -- among
them Anton Julian Nowowiejski (1858-1941), an archbishop who died
in the German death camp at Dzialdowo, Blessed Michal Czartoryski (d.
1944), a Dominican priest killed in the Warsaw Insurrection,
and Maria Anna Biernacka (1888-1943),
one of nine lay persons (she was a benefactress of the Redemptorists in
Warsaw) who chose to be executed to save her unborn grand child,
along with George Kaszyra and Anthony
Leszczewicz,
Marian priests, (they perished among some 1,500
victims burned alive by the Nazis in Roscia, Belarus, on 17-18 February
1943), whose causes had been opened, on 26 January 1992 in Poland.
Pope John Paul II beatified them (including two other bishops, Wladyslaw
Goral and Leon Wetmanski, and many priests, including Jozef
Pawlowski (1890-1942), who was hanged at Dachau for helping Jews
in Poland, and religious, among them Capuchins,
Franciscans,
and Salesians)
in a special ceremony during his visit to Warsaw, Poland, on June 13th.
1999. Although at least eighty
Polish Jesuits were martyred by the Nazis, none was included among
the thirty-three religious beatified that day. However, it is expected
that they will be included in a special ceremony at a future date when
the preparation of their causes is concluded. Dachau, where many of them
died has been called "the world's largest cemetery of priests."
Later, on July 3, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI approved
the cause of the Servant of God Georg Hafner (1900-1942), killed
in hatred of the faith at Dachau.
