He was also given to occasional flourishes of gallantry: after transferring a pregnant Jewish doctor to Cracow to do research for him, Mengele sent her flowers upon the birth of her son.

With Glemp on a monthlong visit to Brazil and Argentina, Franciszek Cardinal Macharski, who succeeded Pope John Paul II as Archbishop of Cracow, gave the petitioners a sympathetic hearing. But church leaders were not likely to go against the absent Primate and split the church into quarreling factions.
