Officials in Poland say that a 110-year-old woman believed to be the world's oldest nun and a rescuer of Jews during the Holocaust, has died.

Father Pawel Rytel-Andrianik, spokesman for Poland's Roman Catholic Church, on Thursday confirmed the death of Sister Cecylia Roszak last week at a Dominican convent in Krakow.

He described her as "probably the oldest nun in the world" and someone remembered as saying that "life is so short and passes so quickly."
