This
modern
museum
is
an
educational
tribute
and
monument
to
the
Polish
people
who
died
or
risked
death
in
Poland.
There
are
many
photographs
and
documents
to
examine
with
translations
in
both
Polish,
Hebrew
and
English.
During
the
German
occupation,
most
probably
in
late
1942,
despite
poverty
and
risk,
the
Ulmas
gave
shelter
to
eight
Jews:
Saul
Goldman
and
his
four
sons
and
two
daughters
and
a
grand-daughter.
On
March
24,
1944,
in
the
morning,
five
German
gendarmes
and
several
navy-blue
policemen
arrived
in
front
of
the
house
of
the
Ulmas.
They
were
commanded
by
Lt.
Eilert
Dieken.
They
first
shot
the
Jews,
and
next
Józef
and
Wiktoria
(who
was
in
the
seventh
month
of
pregnancy).
Then,
Dieken
decided
to
kill
the
6
children.
Within
a
few
minutes,
seventeen
people
lost
their
lives
(including
the
baby
whom
Wiktoria
started
giving
birth
to
at
the
moment
of
the
execution)
They
were
only
one
of
many
families
who
died
or
risked
dying
trying
to
hide
Jews
from
the
nearby
ghetto
from
capture
and
murder.
I
recommend
this
exhibit
highly.
