Chajko, Grzegorz2023-03-312023-03-312013The Person and the Challenges, 2013, Vol. 3, No. 2, p. 143-155.2083-8018http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/5732During the German occupation, large numbers of Poles were actively involved in assisting the persecuted Jews. Among the Poles who extended help were also priests from the Archdiocese of Lviv of the Latins. This article addresses their assistance and protection of the many Jews who were being persecuted by the German Army. Certainly, it does not exhaust the subject, but constitutes some contribution to ongoing research. It is not an easy undertaking, since the sources are extremely scanty, and the search for any information is both a time and labor consuming occupation. Still, given the information gathered here, we are given an opportunity to discern a certain image of clergymen who unhesitatingly sacrificed themselves to save the lives of people who were followers of a different faith. Two priests laid down their lives in the process.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/archdiocesesArchdiocese of Lviv of the LatinsLvivJewsEastern Małopolska ProvincePolandholocaustclergypriesthoodGerman occupationoccupationWorld War IIwarhistoryaidsacrificearchidiecezjearchidiecezja lwowskaLwówŻydziWschodnia MałopolskaPolskaholokaustkapłaniduchowieństwookupacja niemieckaokupacjaII wojna światowawojnahistoriapomocpoświęcenieArticle
