The Spero Forum website reports today that a Polish woman, who saved hundreds of newborn babies from Nazis during World War II, will be honored during the 5th World Prayer Congress for Life, organized by Human Life International in Rome from October 5-10, 2010.
The late Polish midwife, Stanislawa Leszczynska, will be honored for her heroic efforts in saving newborn babies from a brutal end at Auschwitz, where concentration and extermination camps were built and operated in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany.
Before she arrived at the camp in 1943, all newborns of prisoners in the infamous Nazi concentration camps were killed.
Leszczynska delivered over 3,000 babies at Auschwitz. Those with blond hair and blue eyes -- about 500 -- were sent to be raised as Germans, and another 30 survived the camp.
