Biography
Marianna married a farmer and had six children, but only two of them survived infancy. In 1943, during the Second World War, her son Stanislaw and his wife were arrested by German soldiers. In retaliation for the death of other German soldiers that had been killed in a nearby village,[1] the husband and wife were singled out to be shot. Marianna offered to take the place of her pregnant daughter in-law, and the soldiers agreed. After two weeks of imprisonment, Marianna was shot and killed on July 13, 1943 in Naumowicze (Naumovichi), Belarus).[2][3]
On 13 June 1999, Marianna was recognized as a martyr and was beatified, along with 107 other victims,[4] by Pope John Paul II in Warsaw, Poland.
There are two parishes in Poland named for the 108 Martyrs of World War II, one in Powiercie in Koło County, and another in Malbork.[5]
