The Upcoming Election: (Part 2) A Short Story: Dr. Wanda Poltawska and Pope John Paul II
What happens when you forget God in the face of societal chaos? Join us as we tackle this profound question through the remarkable story of Dr. Wanda Półtawska and her friendship with Karol Wojtyła, later known as Pope John Paul II.
Both witnessed and resisted the oppressive forces of Nazism and communism in Poland. Their experiences serve as a powerful reminder of the critical role each of us plays in safeguarding the sanctity of life and family. We recount Wanda's harrowing experiences in Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she endured brutal medical experiments, emerging as a beacon of resilience and courage.
In her own words and in an interview with Solène Tadié on the occasion of her 100th birthday in 2001 here is a brief sketch of the events and her thoughts relevant to today. Her collaboration with Wojtyła in opposing abortion in communist Poland highlights the importance of education and forming children to uphold values that resist destructive ideologies.
