Saint Maximilian Kolbe(02)

This page presents St. Maximilian Kolbe standing solemnly in his Auschwitz prison uniform marked with the letter “P” for “Polish.”
Barbed wire fences and guard towers loom in the background, capturing the harsh reality of his martyrdom.
Despite the bleak setting, Kolbe’s peaceful demeanor teaches children about courage and faith in times of trial.
Catechists and parents can use this page to discuss his heroic act of offering his life in place of another prisoner,
reminding students of Jesus’ words: “Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).
