Maximilian Saint Of Auschwitz
In 1944, Father Maximilian Kolbe was arrested by the Gestapo for his tireless work against the Nazi forces, and sent to the infamous death camp of Auschwitz. There he was used for slave labor, frequently beaten and subjected to humiliations, and in the end he came forward to take the place of a married man condemned to death by starvation. In this he fulfilled the words of Christ: "greater love than this has no man, that he give up his life for his friend." Forty-one years after that heroic act, Maximilian was canonized by Saint John Paul II.
The gripping story of the Saint of Auschwitz is brought to life by Leonardo Defilippis, director and star of the feature film Therese and producer of acclaimed live and film dramas on the scriptures and the lives of the saints.
Beautifully directed for the screen, Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz is completed by a breath-taking musical score. The drama of this saint's heroism and faith touches the heart of the viewer in a mysterious and profound way, and his message is an inspiration for our age.
