More Heroes of Kraków They came from Slovakia to visit Kraków. When the shots rang out, two young tourists stayed with a seriously injured woman. Among the harrowing accounts from Kraków, I read a story that really moved me. On Saturday, a group of 54 Slovak tourists arrived in the city. They had previously visited Auschwitz and were then due to take a walk around the Main Market Square. At around 2:45 p.m., however, their guide, Miriam Považanová, changed the plan and gave the group some free time. A few minutes later, shots rang out. A frantic effort began to locate all the tourists. Some were sheltering in restaurants, while others were scattered around the city centre. The guide called the group members and arranged for them to return safely to the bus. Meanwhile, two young Slovaks, Mário and Linda, were helping a woman with a serious gunshot wound to her neck. They called the guide to let her know they would be late because they were helping an injured woman. When they returned to the group, their clothes were covered in blood. Linda did not even have a change of clothes. On the way back, the bus stopped at a petrol station so they could wash up. In the end, all 54 tourists made it home safely. The guide also deserves enormous credit for looking after the entire group amid the chaos. And Mário and Linda showed something incredibly important. At a moment when they could have sought shelter themselves, they decided to help a woman they did not know. source: Plus JEDEN DEŇ (Slovakia), Dorota Hudecová, November 8, 2026
