No sooner had we decided to add this martyr, or that group of martyrs than people came up with yet another martyr for us to consider. And for the most part, these are all Twentieth Century martyrs. We chose to share with you the first martyr of Poland, St. Stanislaus, mostly because he was the first Polish canonized saint, who was actually born Polish and died a Martyr. But with that exception, all the atrocities took place from 1939 on, and the most recent, Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko was martyred in 1984.
