A shrine to a special man.... Cell # 18 in the basement of Block 11, where Father Kolbe was imprisoned.

Maximilian Maria Kolbe, (8 January 1894 – 14 August 1941) was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar, who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the German death camp of Auschwitz. Kolbe was canonized a saint on 10 October 1982 by Pope John Paul II, and declared a martyr of charity.

Father Kolbe was taken out of his cell after three weeks and given a more merciful death by an injection to the heart.

Father Kolbe was arrested by the Gestapo on February 17, 1941 because he had hidden 2,000 Jews in his friary and because he broadcast reports over the radio condemning Nazi activities during World War II. On May 25, 1941, he was sent to the main Auschwitz camp as a political prisoner.
