Józef Ulma led his family courageously. A devoted father, hardworking and inventive, a mind bursting with ideas.
His home was the first to boast electricity in the village.
Socially active, he was attentive to the affairs of the local community.
His ultimate sacrifice was risking and giving his life for sheltering Jews.

During World War II, the Nazis murdered anyone who hid Jews, and their family. The Ulma family took the risk, and payed the highest price for it.

Their example and courage resonates deeply within the hearts of the Poles, and is an example for the world.
