The beatification of the Ulma family has taken place in Rome today.
Probably at the end of 1942, Wiktoria and Józef Ulma from Markowa decided to take eight Jews under their roof: five men, two women and one girl. They hoped that in this way they would be able to save these people from death. Unfortunately, on March 24, 1944, all residents of the house in Markowa were murdered. The Ulmas and their children as well as the Jews hiding with them were killed.
Members of two Jewish families, probably related to each other, were hiding with the Ulma family. The first one included Saul Goldman (age 64) from Łańcut and his four sons: Baruch Goldman (age 33), Mechel Goldman (age 30), Joachim Goldman (age 25) and Moses Feiwel Goldman (age 23). The second one - two sisters: Gołda Grunfeld (aged 31) and Lea Didner (aged 37) and Reszla Didner, her 6-year-old daughter. Gołda and Lea were the daughters of Chaim Goldman from Markowa.
From the spring of 1942, as part of Operation Reinhardt, the Germans began the systematic liquidation of the Jewish community in the General Government. The deportation of Jews from Markowa and the surrounding area took place in the first half of 1942. From July, "hunts" for those in hiding continued. The displacement operation in Łańcut took place on August 1, 1942. The Jews were transported to the camp in Pełkinie, where the old and sick were murdered, and then to the extermination camp in Bełżec.
Those who were hiding or escaping were shot on the spot when caught.
Initially, Saul and his four sons were helped in hiding by his old friend from before the war, a blue policeman, Włodzimierz Leś. He expected payment for his help and the Goldmans gave him a significant portion of their property. After some time, however, when it was clear that helping Jews could actually result in death, Leś refused to provide support.
Then Saul and his sons went to the Ulma family from Markowa.
