Obituary: Maria Wypych, caregiver to fleeing Polish children
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/128297110/obituary-maria-wypych-caregiver-to-fleeing-polish-children
Seventy-seven years after the end of World War II, Maria Wypych's harrowing story of fleeing Russian persecution, keeping her family together and watching her parents die is a timely reminder of the impact of war. Her story is ultimately an inspiring one, highlighted by her dedication to the Polish children she helped to care for, who arrived in New Zealand from Persia (now Iran) in November 1944.

STATION XV (podcast)

Episode 173 – Truce, Trinity, Transfer, Transgression (April 15, 2022)
Once again, the horror and violence in the Ukraine leads this month's episode, with Pope Francis calling for a truce over the Easter feast. In New Zealand, there's a sense of disappointment as the Vatican rules a cure that had been considered a miracle due to the intercession of Mother Suzanne Aubert could be explained by medical intervention. There's a different sense — one of regret and sorrow — in Dunedin, as the Church renames a college that had been named after a bishop deemed to have not acted appropriately on allegations of abuse some decades ago. We end with some good news — a new pathway for refugees and asylum-seekers — and some weird news, as someone climbs the spire of a New Zealand cathedral while under the influence. A typically mixed bag. We wish our listeners a happy and holy Easter.
