August 1st is the anniversary of the execution of the 11 Blessed Martyrs of Nowogrodek. They were executed by the Nazis in 1943, when the Nazis occupied present-day Belarus. Like St. Maximilian Kolbe, these nuns offered themselves in exchange for other prisoners who were going to be executed.  Bl. John Paul beatified them in 2000.
