Today the Church in Poland commemorates 108 blessed Martyrs of the Second World War.

John Paul II 30 years ago preparing the Great Jubilee of 2000 said:

"In our own century the martyrs have returned, many of them nameless, "unknown soldiers" as it were of God's great cause. As far as possible, their witness should not be lost to the Church. As was recommended in the Consistory, the local Churches should do everything possible to ensure that the memory of those who have suffered martyrdom should be safeguarded, gathering the necessary documentation."
