▶ Who were Jozef and Wiktoria Ulma❓ Why did Pope Francis approve the decree of beatification of the entire family❓ 📺 10 September 2023 at 2pm WATCH the IPN video and learn more! See unique photographs of the daily life of the Ulma family of Markowa. It was a life that was brutally terminated by a massacre organized by German gendarmes. Many of these photographs were taken by Jozef Ulma himself, who documented the life of his family and neighbors. Learn about the Polish “holiness found in our next-door neighbours”.

➡ The head of the Catholic Church - Pope Francis – has approved the decree on the beatification of the Polish Ulma family from Markowa. The beatification of an entire family, including their unborn child, is an unprecedented event. The date assigned to the Ulma family on the liturgical calendar will be July 7th - Wiktoria and Józef Ulma’s wedding day - thus emphasizing the value family represents.

The Ulma family joined the procession of martyrs, becoming a seed that yields a bountiful harvest. It is a harvest of hope in the final victory of good over evil, a model for future generations, a warning of what can happen when people are stripped of their human dignity.

🎥  The film consists of three parts: family life in Markowa through the eyes of Wiktoria Ulma, a mother and wife who speaks warmly about her husband; the historical background (German occupation marked by brutality and mass terror) and the beatification.  The soundtrack also includes three elements: the choral music, a traditional melody from the village of Markowa performed by the "Markowianie" Folk Band, and a piece composed for the spot to capture the horror of the occupation.
