Fox News
The Ulma family, who sheltered Jews in Poland during World War II and were killed by Nazis, were beatified on Sunday. Wiktoria Ulma's unborn child was also included.
At St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, Pope Francis told the public that the Ulmas "represented a ray of light in the darkness" and should be a model for all Catholics servicing others.
Farmer Jozef Ulma, 44, and his 31-year-old pregnant wife Wiktoria were murdered on March 24, 1944, along with their children: Stanislawa, Maria, Barbara, Wladyslaw, Antoni, Franciszek and Wiktoria's unborn child. The children's ages ranged from 7 years to 18 months old.
