I have no family. I want to die for this man". + WHO WAS MAXIMILIAN KOLBE? Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941) was born in Russian Occupied Poland (Pabiance). He was baptized Raymond. In 1906, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him. He was about to receive his first holy communion. She offered him the graces of virginity and martyrdom and asked him which one he wanted. He begged for both. He joined the Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Austrian Occupied Poland, and took the name Maximilian. + MAXIMILIAN KOLBE
+ MILITA OF THE IMMACULATE He received his doctorates in Philosophy and Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, which was run by the Jesuits. In 1917, he founded the Militia of the Immaculate and published a monthly newsletter whose circulation grew from 5,000 to over 500,000 in a very short time. + AUSCHWITZ When the Nazis took over, they allowed him one last publication in Dec of 1940. In February of '41, he was arrested and sent to prison camp and later transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland), the Nazi's largest and most horrible death camp. On July 31, 1941, a prisoner escaped from Auschwitz. Ten men were selected to die because of it. Francis Gatchenzdic was one of them. He cried out in anguish, "My poor wife and children". = I WANT TO DIE FOR THIS MAN'
