When the Ulma family beatification takes place on Sept. 10 in Markowa, Poland, it will be an unprecedented event in many respects. For the first time in church history, a child born during the murder of the mother will be beatified, along with the child’s six siblings and parents, Józef and Wiktoria Ulma. What is truly extraordinary is the everyday life of the Ulma family -- a story told in pictures taken by Józef himself. In part one of a three-part video series, OSV News takes a look at the life and marriage of Wiktoria and Józef.
