    The photo of the priest is held at my Polish Church in Cleveland Ohio. I always wondered when I was little what the picture was. I asked my dad about 5 years ago. And he told me the story of this Preist, and.. how he saved this man's life. Afterwards, I entered that church and looked at the picture differently. Before seeing it as a picture on the wall. Now, I see it as a picture of a hero.. a man whom saved another man's life for love and god.

    A priest at my church met Fr. Kolbe. He has written a book about him and what he experienced when he met Fr. Kolbe. As you said, the man Fr. Kolbe saved was at the ceremony were St. John Paul II made him a saint. What you didn't mention is that soon after attending the service, the man passed away. I find this to be poetic justice, in a way. The man who was saved by A stranger was able to see that stranger become honored by the Catholic church.

      Where does the antisemitic notion come in with St. Max? I heard he advocated
      THE ELDERS OF ZION. ideas. I know it was a horrible book, so how was St. MaximillIan Kolbe involved; anyone know?
      It is hard to believe when he saved hundreds of Jews by hiding them as well as partisans or others?!?
      Does anyone know? And surely, Pope wouldnt canonize him if there was doubt.
      Look at Pius XII. HE saved 80000 or 100000 or is it 860000, and they wont canonize him. Regardless, he was a good man and even if in purgatory--which I doubt, he is Righteous Among The Nations by Israel.
      HITLER wasnt his favorite either. He hid Jews and others in Vatican or closed his eyes to the allied flyers being saved. And that THE SCARLET & THE BLACK film didnt do him justice. I dont think he advocated assassinating Hitler but didn't ban it either.
      He was concerned with how his being outspoken would cause Nazis to treat Catholics & Jews. He had had enough experience dealing with hitler under Pius XI.
      That HITLER'S POPE book is a tissue of lies.
      It is like the opponents of Church act like priests approve of pediophilia! They dont, and Church may have been naive or maybe just too reluctant to condemn individuals w/o absolute proof; but the Church has tried to be just.
      If She condemns, she is an ogre--Inquisition, tyrannical; if slow to condemn, then Church is painted as complicit.-- Not fair!
      THE SWISS GUARDS ARENT SS LET ALONE REAL POLICEMEN.
      IF people think Pope is no one outside Church, why act like he is Caesar and world Roman Empire? I never will get it!

    Oh dear, I cried a lot. Thank you for sharing their story in such a beautiful (and well made!) video. It breaks my heart whenever I think about those time and what was happening back then. It's nearly hard to believe what choices people were forced to make! They never should've had to! It was an extremely low point in the history (and sadly one of many). I just hope nothing like this will happen again and other parts of the world will find peace and respect for humanity too, regardless the faith, race or gender.

Most likely regard him as nothing. I would have been shocked as there are more then dozen in that camp struggling for the will too live while this man gave up he's for someone he didn't knew. Man it's sad too hear story's like that for people like him.

    It would please Maximillian Kolbe to no end if, when you hear his story, when you learn how he died by giving himself up to murderers, when you think about his total sacrifice for the sake of another... you would see in him a glimpse of the One he was imitating, see his Master in the disciple's actions and loves, see his heart's desire.

In preparation for what we were about to read, we watched a few videos about Auschwitz. One of them was about Saint Maximilian Kolbe. It wasn’t very well produced, not even having voices in it. As I go back to school this fall, I am sure to suggest this video to my Literature teacher (who will now be my Religion teacher). Thank you for this amazing short film on a great Catholic man.

Having worked with Christian Friends of Israel since 1995 (and been apart of them since 1986) I have listened to 100's of survivors testimonies of how they suffered in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen etc.. How any survived is a miracle. Well done on producing this remarkable film. עם ישראל חי

  • @raphangeli6735
    @raphangeli6735 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You forgot to tell an important detail: when the soldier came to make the shot of poison in the arm of Maximilian Kolbe, Maximilian, who couldn’t move anymore, naturally looked at him; there was such a look of love, of sainthood, of greatness, at the same time such a look of humility and abandon, in his eyes, that the soldier could not stand it and he could not make the shot. So, he ordered Maximilian Kolbe to look towards the other side, towards the wall, and then he was able to give the lethal shot. The look in the eyes of Maximilian Kolbe was already famous before he was a prisoner, when he was in normal life, and more so at Auschwitz before he was sentenced to death. It may have been, but this is a free supposition, that at the hour of his death, God gave him an even deeper look in his eyes...

  • @AllAboutTruth
    @AllAboutTruth 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    More than anything, what St Maximilian Mary Kolbe did out if love for neighbor is rooted in his complete love for God and Mary. He already died to himself when he chose to wear the two crowns of Mary. In Auschwitz, he then died for his neighbor. Like Jesus on the cross. Today, St Maximilian Mary Kolbe lives in the glory of Jesus and His Mother Mary.
