Blanka Goldman’s land was sold to the Catholic Church by the Polish neighbor who saved her in WWII. After 10 years of legal battle and institutional resistance, Supreme Court rules to return land to her daughter

The Polish Supreme Court ruled this week that a church in the city of Tarnów, near Krakow, was built on land stolen illegally from its proper owners – a Jewish Holocaust survivor.

Her daughter, the heir to the property who lives in Australia, is now waiting for a decision on the compensation she will receive from the Roman Catholic Church.
