Before the war, Catholic nanny Gertruda Babilińska cared for Michael Stołowicki, the young son of a Jewish family living in Warsaw. She remained loyal to the family when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. After Michael’s mother died, Gertruda risked her life to protect the five-year-old during the Holocaust. She secured false identification papers for him and hid him from the Nazis.  

With Mother’s Day approaching, join us to learn about Gertruda’s sacrifices and devotion to raise Michael and fulfill his mother's dying wish.

Watch the program live on the Museum’s YouTube. 

After the live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand on the Museum’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
