The National Day of Remembrance of Poles Who Saved Jews Under German Occupation is observed in Poland every March 24 to honor Polish citizens who risked their lives to save Jews during World War II. Established in 2018 by President Andrzej Duda, this public holiday commemorates the tragic story of the Ulma family, who hid eight Jews in their attic until they were betrayed and executed by the Germans on this date in 1944. The Ulmas, Józef and Wiktoria, along with their six children, became symbols of the martyrdom faced by Poles for aiding Jews during the Holocaust. The day serves to recognize the bravery of those who helped their Jewish neighbors, with over 7,200 Polish citizens having received the title of Righteous Among the Nations. Memorials, such as the monument erected in Markowa, where the Ulmas lived, are significant sites for remembrance. The Ulmas were posthumously recognized by Yad Vashem, and in 2023, they were beautified by Pope Francis, further solidifying their legacy in Polish history.
