I really like some of your Polish imagery but knowing that you support the abortion ban in Poland is so repugnant. You hate women. Bye.
Stanisława Leszczyńska was a midwife from Łódź, Poland. Arrested by the Gestapo for delivering food to the ghetto, she was sent to Auschwitz. In the camp, she was relegated to women's camp infirmary where she worked as a midwife and delivered over 3,000 babies.
When Joseph Mengele told her to murder them immediately, Leszczyńska refused to follow the order. ''No, never. You must never kill children!'' - she told the camp doctor Mengele, known for his cruelty.
Throughout her time in the camp, she delivered 3,000 babies, without a single child or mother dying in childbirth. ''He [Mengele] said that even the most perfectly managed clinics in German universities could not boast such success. In his eyes I saw anger and hatred.''(...) ''I used to work with a prayer on my lips; actually, throughout my whole professional career, I never had a case that ended tragically.'' (S. Leszczyńska)
Leszczyńska felt helpless as she watched the babies she delivered be murdered or starve to death, their mothers forbidden to breastfeed. Immediately after birth, she baptized each child. People called Stanisława an “angel of goodness”. She used to hum religious songs, encouraging other prisoners to join in. Often the whisper of her prayers could be heard – usually a request for help or thanks for a successful delivery. ''Jewish women from the same block would come to join in, saying: ‘We want to pray to your Christ’.'' (S. Leszczyńska)
After the war, she never accepted any decorations or recognitions. She used to say: “God led all my children safely home because I have never killed anyone’s child”. Addressing her son, who obtained his diploma and became a doctor, she said: ''I don’t think you would ever perform an abortion, because then you wouldn’t be my son.''
In 1957, Stanisława wrote Raport położnej z Oświęcimia [Report of a midwife from Auschwitz], she left a vital message defending human life: “If people in my country were to display any tendencies against human life, despite the sad experience of wartime events, then I do believe that the voice of reason for preserving the life and rights of children would come from all midwives, mothers and fathers, and honest citizens”.
She was a close relative of Robert Lewandowski's (famous Polish footballer) wife - Anna, whose mother Maria Stachurska made a film about Leszczyńska's life.
Her beatification process is underway.
