#Poland Olympian Maria Kwaśniewska refused to give the Nazi salute while receiving a medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. When Hitler referred to her as a “little Polish woman,” she retorted that she was taller than him. To save face, Hitler reworded it to “little Poland.” Later, Kwaśniewska used a photo of herself with Hitler to bypass guards at the Pruszków concentration camp, allowing her to rescue several prisoners. She passed away on this day in 2007.
