On this day, 10 August 1889, Polish World War II resistance fighter and writer Zofia Kossak-Szczucka was born in Kośmin, Lublin Governorate. During the German occupation of Poland, Zofia worked on the underground press, co-editing a resistance newspaper, founded a Catholic resistance group and another group to help save Jewish people from extermination. She was arrested after being denounced by a Polish aristocrat and sent to Auschwitz, however fortunately the resistance secured her release. In 1944 she joined the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, and survived the war, living until the age of 78. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1497172930467852/?type=3
