European Parliament Honors Polish WWII Hero Pilecki With Room Dedication
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - MAY 31, 2023: Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, is seen during the ceremony of naming the ECR Group meeting room in the European Parliament after World War II Polish hero Witold Pilecki, in Brussels, Belgium, on May 31, 2023. Pilecki, a Polish underground officer, voluntarily imprisoned himself at Auschwitz during World War II to gather intelligence and organize resistance. He is considered one of Poland's greatest wartime heroes and fought against both Nazi and Soviet-backed communist regimes. Pilecki's actions, including escaping Auschwitz and providing crucial information, contributed significantly to the fight against totalitarianism. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
