Stanisława Leszczyńska (1896 – 1974) is known as a woman who helped deliver around 3000 babies in Auschwitz concentration camp where the women called her “Mother” and “Angel of Goodness”. Even though the life of most of the babies ended in the tragedy of the Holocaust, every single one of them was born alive and into her waiting, loving hands.
