Stanisława Leszczyńska
Polish midwife who delivered babies in Auschwitz
Who they were
A midwife from Łódź who with her husband helped Jews escape, she was deported to Auschwitz in 1943 and there delivered some three thousand babies, refusing orders to kill the newborn.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati records that the nihil obstat for her beatification process was granted in 1992.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
