October 6, 1943:

• "A Jew posing as a Catholic, Helen Manaster is called out of the delivery room in the Kraków, Poland, hospital while in labor pains to face two Gestapo agents.
  She keeps her calm and the Gestapo agents tell her to go back to bed."

"Vladka Meed, who used this false identification card of Stanislawa Wachalska to live on the Aryan side of Warsaw, utilized her position on behalf of the ghetto's Resistance movement.
Besides procuring guns for the ZOB fighters, she helped smuggle Jews out of the ghetto and found shelter for them.
The heroics of Meed and others like her were critical to the success of Resistance movements in Warsaw and other Polish ghettos."
