The first to be chosen was 41-year-old Polish Sergeant Franciszek Gajowniczek. Amid the silence, he began to weep and say, \u201cMy God, I have a wife and children. Who will take care of them?\u201d Maximilian Kolbe volunteered to take his place, saying, \u201cI volunteer to take this man\u2019s place; I am a Catholic priest and a Pole, and I am not married.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officer agreed, and Father Kolbe was sent, along with the other nine, to a cell where they would receive neither food nor water. On the second or third day, some of them began to die. Meanwhile, prayers and hymns to the Virgin Mary could be heard coming from that dungeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>August 14, 1941<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Germans had a Polish guard in charge of removing the bodies of those who died and emptying the latrine in the cell. He has recounted this, and his account is on file with the courts and in the Vatican archives. Kolbe and three others survived until the fifteenth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/focus\/saint-maximilian-kolbe\/\">Pedro Esta\u00fan has said<\/a>. The commander needed the cell for a new group of prisoners and ordered the camp doctor to administer an injection of carbolic acid to extinguish the last breath of their lives. It was August 14, 1941. Kolbe was 47 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kolbe's sacrifice was not an isolated act of heroism. His life was filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/focus\/priests-saints-saint-maximilian-maria-kolbe\/\">surrender to God<\/a>. At the age of thirteen, he entered the seminary of the Conventual Franciscan Friars in Leopolis. In 1931, the Pope called for missionaries to evangelize Asia. Maximilian volunteered and was sent to Japan, where he remained for five years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK-700x400.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FotoSupervivientesAuschwitzOK-600x343.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Survivors at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945 in Oswiecim, Poland, where it is estimated that more than one million people perished (Photo OSV News\/Yad Vashem Archives via Reuters).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Nazi extermination camp, he was sent to forced-labor camps, and, like his fellow prisoners, he endured humiliation, beatings, insults, dog bites, and jets of ice-cold water when he was racked with fever, thirst, and hunger, as well as the endless back-and-forth of dragging corpses from the cells to the crematorium\u2026 Auschwitz was the antechamber to hell, Esta\u00fan recounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beatified by St. Paul VI, canonized by St. John Paul II<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope Saint Paul VI declared him blessed in 1971.

Nearly 2,800 clergymen were held there during the war, including some 1,780 Poles, according to Poland\u2019s Institute of National Remembrance. These clergymen ranged in age from 30 to 60.
