A Polish nun who risked her life by hiding Jews from the Nazis during the Second World War has died aged aged 110, the archdiocese of Krakow in Poland has announced. Sister Cecylia Roszak, who was believed to have been the oldest nun in the world, died last week in the Dominican convent in the city of Krakow, southern Poland, where she had lived for nearly 90 years.
The archdiocese posted a photo of the nun on Twitter with the message: “In Krakow the oldest sister in the word died – sister Cecilia Maria Roszak from the monastery of Dominican sisters.”
