@DrHelenFry Watching as a child, The World at War series on the TV on Sunday nights.

Stanisława Leszczyńska was 47 years old, a Catholic midwife from Łódź, Poland, when the Nazis arrested her in 1943.

On April 17, 1943, she arrived at Auschwitz with her daughter Sylwia. She was prisoner number 41335.

Most people sent to Auschwitz were murdered within hours.
But Stanisława had a skill the Nazis needed: she was an experienced midwife.

They assigned her to the maternity ward - a filthy wooden barrack called Block 24, with three-tier wooden bunks where pregnant women - starved, sick, terrified - waited to give birth.

There was no medicine. No clean water. No anesthesia. No surgical instruments. No diapers or blankets for newborns.
Just wooden boards and darkness.

Nazi doctors had specific instructions for babies born in Auschwitz: Kill them immediately. Usually by drowning.

Dr. Mengele ordered her to kill the babies she delivered. She looked him in the eye and refused. But because Stanisława was the only trained midwife, they let her live.

She worked with her bare hands, no gloves, no sterilization. She tore strips from her own clothing to tie umbilical cords.

She delivered babies in the dark, by feel. She delivered babies knowing most would die within hours or days. Guards routinely drowned newborns in buckets, in front of their mothers.

Over two years, she brought 3,000 babies into hell. Most died, but she never lost a mother.

In January 1945, the Soviet Army approached Auschwitz. Stanisława and her daughter, Sylwia, survived.

After the war, Stanisława testified at trials. She never stopped practicing midwifery. She continued helping mothers and babies until retirement.

Stanisława Leszczyńska died on March 11, 1974, at age 78.

She deserves to be remembered.

@MJ4202021 @British_Airways @paulmorrishhl Economy is spot on. Feel valued.

[Rob @robbiejohnson16]

@benchurch23 @British_Airways @paulmorrishhl Pointless though. BA still truly believes in Avios. Fly Emirates for fulfillment not abject disappointment from staff entitlement

[Rob @robbiejohnson16]

@paulmorrishhl @British_Airways @emirates Recognize this from Emirates. By far the greatest team the world has ever seen!

@DrHelenFry Terrible story with a happy ending. Thx for sharing.

@piersmorgan When we watch him live in the Clock End it’s completely clear how hard he works. Doesn’t always come across on the telly. He works for the team. He’s a unit. He has solid Nordic mindset. He’s a winner.

@DrHelenFry Amazing. I once marched at the Battle of the Atlantic 50th anniversary. It was the 80th recently. (I still think I’m 25). How did the 80th anniversary happen? 😂

1299 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 839 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

On this International Women's Day I am thinking about the millions of Afghan women and girls who continue to have their basic human rights denied.
Today it is 1267 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school.

Traffic control informed a Jet Blue commercial pilot that six F-35 military jets were about to pass him.

The Jet Blue pilot’s response was hilarious.

@susie_dent Very apt right now.

@JamesBlunt Watched it last night James. Really good watch. Loved the part when the producer said the kids are now listening to what their mum’s & dads listened too. Our kids went one step further. Coughing in unison to cover the sweary bits to “You’re Beautiful” so Granny couldn’t hear 😂
