  Stefan Batory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stefan Batory, King of Poland, Prince of Transylvania, Grand Duke of Lithuania (27 September 1533–12 December 1586) was Prince of Transylvania (1571-1575), then King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1575-1586).
Stefan Batory was born September 27, 1533, in Somlyo, Transylvania, to the local branch of the ancient Bathory family, now extinct, but originally almost coeval with the Hungarian monarchy.
Stefan Batory proved to be a wise king, despite the fact that the country he became a ruler of was badly damaged by the troubles of the interregnum.

 Annual Report: Stefan Batory Foundation (Poland)
Poland's younger generation is of particular concern to the Foundation, which makes a special effort to reach small towns and villages where the opportunities for young people to be creative and active are fewer.
In Poland, as elsewhere, many young people leave school totally unprepared for the changes brought about by a free-market economy and begin their adult life without a job.
The Alliance of Universities for Democracy awarded the Stefan Batory Foundation a special mention for its efforts aimed at increasing the role of the educational sector in the promotion of democratic institutions.

Poland's extremely unstable existance as a country, and unstablished for hundred's of years previously throughout history, was about to experience the most horrific, and unspeakable acts that man-kind could ever imagine, let alone commit, or live through.

Just after Christmas, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Poland's Roman Catholic primate, preached a sermon in Warsaw that could be read last week as defiance in advance.
The cardinal spoke of "maternity wards which have become mortuaries," and said that "the doctor should continue to be a doctor, a defender of life, not a gravedigger and murderer." But as far as Poland's government was concerned, the nation's 1,000 abortion clinics (or clinics for "interrupted pregnancy") were not doing enough of a job.
In 1959 "private" abortions in Poland rose to an estimated 800,000.
