PARAFIA ŻURAWICA W LATACH II WOJNY ŚWIATOWEJ

The period of the Second World War affected all the aspects of social life in Poland, including the Church community, which, like the whole nation, suffered enormous losses in people as well as in the material and spiritual dimensions. This paper shows those issues on a microscale taking the Żurawica parish as an example. It discusses issues connected with demographic changes, material losses and most of all, it presents the problems in pastoral work faced by the priests working in that parish.
