opened the doors to other churches, where
Ms. Szczodrowska created sculptures of
Christ and various Saints. Later, in the

Ms. Szczodrowska was very sensitive to
human suffering which inspired her to make
a series of sculptures on this subject;
among them: Prisoners of World War II (in
the permanent collection in Stutthof
Museum in Sztutowo, Poland), and dedicated
to the suffering of Vietnamese Women.
Elżbieta Szczodrowska is mostly known for
