From a quiet Polish village to the death camp of Auschwitz, one man’s fearless devotion changed the world. This episode tells the gripping, true story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe — the boy who once knelt in a candlelit church and saw the Virgin Mary offer him two crowns: one for purity, one for martyrdom. He chose both. Follow his journey from a mischievous child to a brilliant Franciscan friar, media pioneer, missionary to Japan, and finally, a prisoner who offered his life for another.Through vivid storytelling and powerful sound design, you’ll walk beside Kolbe in the streets of war-torn Poland, feel the pressroom heat of The Knight of the Immaculate, and stand with him in the silent darkness of Auschwitz’s starvation bunker. This is more than history — it’s a call to courage, mercy, and radical love in the face of evil.Whether you’re a history lover, a seeker of inspiring true stories, or someone searching for hope in hard times, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.Keywords: Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Catholic saints, Auschwitz, World War II, Franciscan, martyr, missionary, Poland, Japan, Militia Immaculatae, Christian inspiration, faith, courage, miracles, devotion to Mary, true crime of the Nazis, inspirational history podcast.
