[@wladyslawbukowski]

It is also worth mentioning that this priest was a man of great undertakings, without a penny he founded a Catholic radio station, a printing house and distribution of bulletins, a Catholic monastery in Japan, he still had big plans ahead of him, but when it came to giving a testimony of faith, he acted exactly according to the teachings of Jesus, who said that there is no greater love than that of laying down our lives for our neighbor. He took it literally to heart.

Ja nie myślę, ja to wiem! że jedynie z pomocą Matki Boga Jezusa możemy uratować moją ojczyznę, przed wrogiem z zachodu, ze wschodu jak i przed wrogiem który ukrywa się w środku (zdrajcami i donosicielami).

I'm glad you've learned about our Polish Saint and martyr of charity Maksymilian Maria Kolbe. All children study about him in primary classes. Almost at every home people read or heard of his monthly publication "Rycerz Niepokalanej". I was surprised to know that the person I know is related to Franciszek Gajowniczek! The priest Maximilian was a great man. I respect Patrick Ney, the Englishman who loved and moved to Poland and for his video about St. M.M Kolbe. Great reaction, thank you!

Thank You a lot for this video. Father Maksymilian Kolbe was such a great personality. Not only in his death, but also in his whole life as well. He was always so active, a real visionary ahead of his time. From nothing, he established a very modern Franciscian monastery, still existing, in Niepokalanów (named after the name of Mother of God "Immaculata"), that growth rapidly, having before the war own press publishing units (publishing about 1 mln press copies), he was even preparing to establish a Catholic radio and to built near the monastery an airport. And he even went to Japan, to Nagasaki. He spend in Japan some years, and also there he established a Franciscian monastery and started publishing of Catholic press (which was one of the most popular Christian press in that time in Japan, and is even being published until now). And when he was looking for a place for this monastery in Nagasaki, he chose a place on the slope of a hill - thanks to that the monastery survived untouched the atomic bomb attack (the monastery is still active in that place). Father Kolbe is well known not only in Poland, but also by many Christians from many other countries.

[@maximilianovsky]

Great that you did this episode. Maximilian is a very inspirational character! A great man! His gesture at Auschwitz was amazing, but his life was great! From nothing he built a huge printing house where he printed a record number of magazines. It is worth reading his biography.

[@rademenes1754]

Witaj Mert , poruszyłeś ważny temat , pozdrawiam Ciebie z Polski i oczywiście po Polsku ... You see, none of the heroes, our Polish and all nationalities, had a guarantee that by giving their own life for the life of another, they would be able to save someone's life. All these great, more or less known heroes of our common freedom, privates and sergeants, chose to fight evil. Fight, weapon, technical thought or the sign of each of all religions. Even though times are different today, I think that each of us should find the element of humanity in ourselves and be able to stay with someone who really needs help. Courage, helping others are not only our Polish values, each of us can do this... people.

How difficult it must've been to sacrifice his own life for a complete stranger? I've known his story for a long time, and even though it's tragic that Franciszek Gajowniczek's children were killed in a Soviet bombardment, he did reunite with his wife, he meet with Kolbe's order to live with them for a while, and he had a long good life, always making sure to make the most of it, for the man who sacrificed his own for him.

You should also make a video about the Ulma family - Józef and Wiktoria Ulma with their seven children (the oldest was about 8 years old, others were only 2 or 3 years old, and one was unborn - Wiktoria, when killed, was in the 9th month of pregnancy), who all were executed by Germans for saving the Jews in 1944. In September 2023 there was their beatification ceremony and the Pope declared the entire family to be martyrs and blessed. Earlier, in 1995 they were also declared by the Israeli Yad Vashem Institute as the Righteous Among the Nations. There is in Poland the museum about them, in Markowa.

[@mpingo91]

0:46 A very modern man of his time. Creator, journalist and publisher of the most read magazine in the country. Printed in a printing plant he built himself. Builder and missionary in Japan (Nagasaki, where the second atomic bomb exploded). Shortwave radio operator and creator of a nationwide (broadcast) radio. Creator of the monastery fire department. A man of great stature. The worst thing is that this unexceptional man who was independent, with a head full of ideas, with initiative, effective and successful, was killed by some primitives with residual thinking, able only to follow other people's orders.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Few years ago (probably in 2017) there was a Polish movie about Maksymilian Kolbe, titled "Two crowns" (film director: Michał Kondrat). It was shown in the Polish cinemas. I think this movie can now also be found on KZbin, with English subtitles. It's really worth seeing.

[@perpetua7004]

Maksymilian wanted to follow his Master, The One who have His life for all of us and died for our sins on the Cross - Jesus Christ. Love for Him made Maksymilian love his brother so much that he decided to sacrifice his life. He has two crowns. Saint Maksymilian pray for us.

In the concentration camp he showed the people that even in such horrible place, being a real hell on earth, still can be light and the human strenght is not only in their bodies, but first of all in their souls, that cannot be destroyed if they have real faith and such deep love to God and the other people as well. When he was taken to this starvation bunker, he also gave hope to the other prisoners. Earlier, they were in despair, waiting only for death in pain. But he started to pray with them, till the end, for several days, and they were dying with hope. Testimonies have been written about this. In Auschwitz Museum the visitors can nowadays visit the bunker where father Kolbe was killed.

[@anuskas9244]

You should learn the story of Janusz Korczak, a Polish doctor and educator who created a place of care for orphans. He died with them in the gas chamber of the Treblinka concentration camp. He had the opportunity to escape but he didn't, he wanted to stay with his children until the end. The children did not know that they were going to die in the gas chamber. He told them they were going to a ball, asked them to put on their best clothes and went with them to their deaths, and they sang songs as they went there

I'm glad you chose this topic, a story about an extraordinary man. Father Maria Maksymilian Kolbe was the greatest defender of Christian civilization in the world in the first half of the 20th century, he was a defender of humanity... He sealed his greatness with something that is irrational for an ordinary person - he gave his own life for the life of his neighbor. He was a true follower of Christ! During World War II, the only European nation that "behaved properly" were Poles! Poles did not collaborate with barbarians, because Poles "HOLY BAPTISM WAS SUCCESSFUL." Best regards

[@justiceB85]

You should check out Janusz Korczak. In the eyes of Poles, he is a hero. He is also the greatest Polish educator of the 20th century. He was murdered in a concentration camp. The whole story is tear-jerking

[@NewMaroPop]

In 1930, Maksymilian Kolbe came to Nagasaki, and a year later he purchased a plot of land on the slope of Hikoyama Hill. A Franciscan monastery was built on this site over the next 6 years. In 1934, the authorities gave permission to build a church (currently: Hongōchi Church (カトリック本河内教会), which was consecrated on August 15 of that year. By 1937, a theological seminary and a publishing house building were built, which published the monthly Seibo no Kishi (Knight of the Immaculate). When the crew of an American bomber dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, the mountain slope protected the monastery building from the shock wave and destruction.

You should make video about Janusz Korczak too. He was a hero of Warsaw ghetto and educator..If Janusz Korczak is remembered in the UK today, as he was in a recent novel,2 it is because of the heroic manner of his death. Having dedicated his life to the orphans, he did not abandon them when Poland was invaded in 1939. The Nazis built the walls of the ghetto around the half a million Jews in Warsaw. Although we know of several well-documented offers of relative safety on the Aryan side, Korczak steadfastly refused to leave his orphans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHjan4Cdet1pmJosi=smO5st2xoaDLjMbZ

[@adamlewandowski5542]

Father Maksymilian was walking in a striped prison uniform, with a bowl at his side, and in clogs. He did not walk like a beggar, nor like a hero. He walked like a man aware of a great mission. He stood calmly in front of the officers. The entire entourage that was making the selections all stood and looked at each other, they didn't know what to do. Finally, the camp director came to his senses and, furious, asked his deputy: - “Was will dieses polnische Schwein?” (Polish: What does this Polish pig want?). They started looking for a translator, but it turned out that there was no need for a translator. Father Maksymilian, standing at attention, replied calmly in German: - "Ich will für ihn sterben" (Polish: I want to die for him) and pointed with his left hand at Gajowniczek standing next to him. Another question was asked: - “Wer bist du?” (Polish: Who are you?) - "Ich bin polnischer katholischer Priester" (Polish: I am a Polish Catholic priest.) Father Maksymilian, even though he knew how the Germans treated Polish priests, was not afraid to admit his priesthood. There was an unbearable silence then. Every second seemed to last forever. Finally, something happened that neither the Germans nor the prisoners can understand to this day. The SS captain, who always addressed prisoners by the vulgar "you", addressed Father Maksymilian as "sir": - “Warum wollen Sie für ihn sterben?” (Polish: Why do you want to die for him, sir?) Father Maksymilian replied: - "Er hat eine Frau und Kinder" (Polish: He has a wife and children.) After a while, the SS man said: - "Gut" (Polish: Good).

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13, The Holy Bible. It is Christianity professed by works that makes us so extraordinary. Besides, we are like other nations, we have our great national flaws and imperfections. But above all, we love freedom and oppose injustice. The motto of the Polish Armed Forces and our national motto is God-Honor-Fatherland. I am proud of being Polish, but it is not my doing. I am even more grateful for the testimony of the Christian faith that my parents gave me.
