The Ulma Family Museum of Poles Who Saved Jews in Markowa commemorates Poles who risked their lives trying to save Jews under German occupation during the II World War. President Andrzej Duda will be attending the ceremony. Jeannie Opdyke Smith - the daughter of the late Irene Opdyke, who received international recognition for her life-saving actions during the Holocaust when working for a high ranking German official – will also be present in Markowa.
The museum was established in the village of Markowa in the Podkarpacie region, where on 24 March 1944 the German gendarmes murdered eight Jews and the people who were sheltering them: Józef Ulma and his nine-month pregnant wife, Wiktoria. They also killed six Ulma children.

Nazi-occupied Poland was the only country in which the Germans had decreed that citizens risked death for helping Jews during World War II.
More than 6,600 Poles have been honored as “Righteous Among the Nations” by Israel’s Yad Vashem institute, the title given to non-Jews who stood up to Nazi genocide.
