This book tells the moving story of Maximiliano Kolbe, a Franciscan who made friends among all men. Through unpublished documents, André Frossard narrates the adventures and heroic end of this young Pole, whose faith and energy led him to direct a 'Marian city' and organize the launch of the largest Japanese Catholic newspaper. During the Nazi regime, he was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where he continued to provide strength to others. He died in 1944, taking the place of a companion condemned to die of hunger. John Paul II proclaimed him a saint and martyr in 1982.
André Frossard was a French journalist and essayist.
