Poles Who Rescued Jews Honored in Warsaw
[AP ] Vanessa Gera - Wanda Bulik was only 18 when a conductor approached her on a train during the height of World War II and asked her to take care of an abandoned 3-year-old Jewish boy. Without hesitation, the young Catholic Pole gave up her studies, convinced a young police officer who was in love with her to pose with her as the boy's parents, and devoted the next four years to sheltering him from the Nazi Holocaust. On Sunday, Bulik and more than 60 other Christian Poles who saved Jews were honored in Warsaw by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, a New York-based group devoted to helping such former rescuers in their old age.
