The Martyrdom of the 11 Nuns of Nowogrodek We only spent a short time in Poland; we listened to the eyewitness accounts of wholesale massacre of these brave people, first by the Communists, then by the Nazis, and again by the Communists. We can't help but wonder what kind of brainwashing had to be done to the troops of the Nazi and Soviet Union armies, to get them to believe that everyone else in the world except them was so much garbage, to be discarded at will, and slaughtered in any cruel and inhuman manner. We do know that Hitler instituted an indoctrination program for the Nazi military, claiming that they were the Aryan race, and better than anyone else. By comparison, the rest of the world was just so much trash. Brother Joseph of our Ministry brought to our attention just recently that Poland had always blocked Germany from Russian attacks just by the nature of its geographical location. When the Russians would attack the Germans, or vice versa, the battles always wound up being fought on Polish soil. A statistic we read about World War II maintains that close to 30,000,000 people were killed during that war, and over half of them were civilians. So much for the reported skill and bravery of those crack Nazi troops. It doesn't take much of either to mow down unarmed, defenseless people with machine guns. They did their best work against unarmed men, women and children. And let us not forget our priests and nuns. They were not only unarmed victims; they even prayed for their attackers. One of the most outrageous and senseless massacres of the Polish people we have learned about was the slaughter of 11 helpless nuns of the Order of the Holy Family of Nazareth in the woods of Nowogrodek, on August 1, 1943. During the war, this was part of Poland. The Soviet Union took it over after World War II, and is today part of Byelorussia. This also gives you some idea of how these people have been footballed around by tyrannical bullies during this century alone. The Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth were founded for the express purpose of ministering to the family. They are consecrated to the Holy Family. Two Sisters came to Nowogrodek in August, 1929. It had been the prayer of their Bishop, Zygmunt Lozinski, who had been born in the small town. He wanted them to open a school there, and the Mother Superior was more than happy to accommodate him. But there was a slight problem. He was the only one who wanted them in the town. The people didn't want them. It was an uphill fight from the very beginning. They couldn't find a place to call their own. They were blocked by people in power of the town. There were many Protestants and Jews. They were suspicious of the little ladies in black. When they appealed to their superior in Rome, and to the Bishop, they were told to stand their ground, stick with it. Read more click here
