St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish priest, was arrested for sheltering Jews and sent to Auschwitz. When the Germans selected ten men to be starved to death, he volunteered to take the place of a stranger—Franciszek Gajowniczek. After two weeks without food or water, Kolbe was the only one still alive. He was ultimately killed by a lethal injection of carbolic acid. A profound example of Christian charity and sacrifice! Father Kolbe was born on 8 January 1894. | British Poles
