On May 15, 1944, a nun and her 10- to 12-year-old pupils were returning from Werbkowice to Turkowice by rail cart. The cart was powered by human power, and Sister Longina had eight helpers. They were carrying provisions for the children of the orphanage in Turkowice, run by the Sisters of the Servants.
When Sister Longina spotted the burning church in Malice along the way, she stopped the cart and, together with the pupils, began to rescue the liturgical objects.
