HERO OF AUSCHWITZ

Product Description
Hero of Auschwitz
St. Maximilian Kolbe, OFM CONV.


Mankind always has needed heroic men and women. This is particularly true in our materialistic times. Fortunately, heroes can still be found today in all walks of life.

No less are there heroes in the religious sphere. God constantly raises up men and women who are models of supernatural strength and virtue, living testimonials of the power of love of God and love of man.

One such hero was Fr. Maximilian M. Kolbe, a Conventual Franciscan priest and founder of the Marian movement, the Militia of the Immaculata. His heroic charity was revealed when, in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz, he offered his life for that of a fellow prisoner condemned to die by starvation.

Father Maximilian became the hero of Auschwitz through a life dedicated to God through Mary Immaculate. To understand and appreciate him, one must understand the role that Mary played in his life which this book illustrates.

This is a Marytown Press book.
