Max Kolbe:
Max Kolbe was born on January 8th 1894. His father fought for Polands independence from Russia
and was hanged as a traitor in 1914. Max after eight years as a student became
a Franciscan in 1918. In 1931 he went to Japan and founded a monastery in
Nagasaki and then another in India. In 1936 he returned to Poland due to ill health.
Two years after the 1939 Nazi invasion of Poland, he was arrested for helping
to house Jewish refugees. He was sent to Auschwitz .
Several months later a prisoner escaped from Auschwitz. It was the Nazi
practice there to execute 10 men for each escaped prisoner. When the ten were
chosen one pleaded for mercy saying that he was a married man with young
children. On hearing this Fr Max stepped forward and offered to take his place.
He was then imprisoned for 3 weeks of starvation, he was injected intravenously
with carbolic acid and died from this . He was
canonised in 1982.
