THE SAINT OF AUSCHWITZ | Short Film

- Опубліковано 10 тра 2023
- Priest. Prisoner. Saint. This short film is based on the true story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest who sacrificed his life to save a Polish political prisoner at the concentration camp in Auschwitz.
True definition of a martyr. He knew what would happen, and didn’t care. Like the man said “if I can bring someone closer to god, then I gladly suffer”… such a powerful and meaningful message.
His faith made him whole. God says in the Bible blessed are those who suffer for great is their reward in heaven.
Maximillian Kolbe was a great man, to willingly sacrifice his life to save the life of another. Knowing what he volunteered for, how he was going to die, was going to be throughly unpleasant.

RIP father you gave you’re own life for a stranger which I KNOW I could NOT have done what you did & i too am a catholic.
The descendants of these Jews are now doing the same or even worse to the Palestinians. But the hypocritical European civilization is silent. One day you will be ashamed of your silence.
This man was a shining light in a dark world... may he rest in peace.
The world is now even darker
No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13).
I have seen this in combat
And you have heard this said about no greater love...true...John 15:13? But there is a greater love.......someone that lays down their life for their enemy. That is what God did and asked His Son Jesus to be the sacrificial lamb that the enemies of God might be saved and transformed. Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.
💓🐓🍀🌸🕎👑🇮🇱Amen🤗🎆📖✝️🥰👨👩👧👦🕊️🌼🐧🛐
AMEN
Except Fr Maximillian Kolbe laid down his life for strangers. Many of whom were gravely remiss in not coming forward after the war to acknowledge the priests supreme sacrifice. Such was the nature of their gratitude. They used his life like a stepping stone, for them to survive at all costs, but not at the cost of their lives. I certainly pray and hope that divine justice exists beyond this life, because there are many injustices not rectified in this life.
May this brave catholic priest rest in peace with Jesus and all the other Saints.
Amen
@catherineostanti J’ai suis plus d’accord avec vous ❤😊
He sacrificed his life so others can live. He was a martyr and a saint...may God protect us all. He knew he was gonna die but he trusted God.
He was a great man. He was later canonized as a Saint by Pope John Paul II and the Roman Catholic Church.
Pop was a pedifila
@@kevinmalone3210I know. I am Roman Catholic. I suffer with many health conditions but nothing like he suffered. I pray to him when it's truly bad. When I suffered through narcissistic abuse and became suicidal I prayed to God to give me the strength and him and my mother and grandmother. They all gave me the strength to get out and get through.
If God existed, none of them would be in that camp. He abandoned all in the holocaust.
He wasn’t a martyr
I'm constantly fascinated by the stories of heroic deeds that took place during WW2, in the concentration camps in particular. Further proves you can't kill the human spirit and the will to show compassion is as powerful as anything. What a man this was to do such a deed for someone he did not know
Here is one from my family .
My grandfather worked as an Ingenieur building v2 Rockets . He gave the co workers (kz Häftlingen) his cigarettes so they could trade for food. He was caught and they said , next time he would swap uniforms ..
March 1945 he told a nazi about his view of Adolf. He was send to the eastern front ! MIA
RIP . We will never know what happened , but never forgotten
@@hkjack410 Blessings to your family.
You had a very brave grandfather...A person to admire, and try to emulate.
🙏 💜 🌿
I am too.
I watch WW2 heroic stories, movies, etc...
Read about Witold Pilecki, the biggest Hero of WW2. Also, Irena Sendler.
The story of Father Maximilian Kolbe is also a reminder of the importance of compassion. Compassion is the willingness to help others, even if it means sacrificing something of yourself.
Compassion is a powerful force that can change the world. It can give people comfort, hope, and a sense of connection.
This priest showed true mercy for his fellow brothers.
¿ Y Pío XI I ?
It was God's grace working through Kolbe, to offer himself as a sacrifice, to save the life of another.
I first heard about Max Kolbe 18yrs ago. I have venerated him ever since. I named my first born son in his honour. I am not a Catholic, but Kolbe is a shining example of God's real existence in that forsaken place of inhumanity.
❤
Become Catholic.🙏
@@paxchristi1661 Thanks for the invitation, but if you're born Orthodox, you die Orthodox. Having said that, I did teach R.E. in a Catholic high school for 15yrs. Trained at a Catholic university. I think the best I can do is be an outside supporter and sympathiser of the Catholic Church and her immensely beautiful and powerfully symbolic rituals and traditions. Stay Blessed. :)
@@fonzaug3355 I appreciate your reply, never looked into Orthodox differences from Catholic Chruch, will look into it. Yes, I feel at home in Catholic church it is just beautiful. Stay Blessed as well brother :)
Poles [People of Polish nationality] were the first prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp; [in addition to the small group of German criminal prisoners who served as Kapos].
"First mass transport to Auschwitz concentration camp" in Wikipedia.
When I was baptized as a Catholic - then I had the opportunity to choose one holy protector for myself. I chose Maximilian Kolbe. At that time I was about 12 years old - I didn't really know much about him, but as the years went by I learned a lot more about this priest who gave his life.
🙏🏻✝️ Good brother
I am a Protestant.
My protector is Jesus.
The bible calls all believers saints.
And the bible describes how dead believers sleep in the grave pending the day of resurrection.
Let's not forget that Hitler was raised Catholic.
@@geordiewishart1683 xDD but dad was protestant
The dead can't protect you, and there's nothing holy about them.
@@MetaKnight964 Convert Before too!!!! late!!!
I wish i could see the whole movie this kind man had real compassion for everyone God has a special place for father kolbe
I believe Maximilian Schell played him in a movie. I think in the 60s but I'm not sure.
Wow! Shout out to this Catholic Priest for praying to the name of Jesus for protection and love. Powerful scene.
And SHOUT OUT JESUS'S HOLY MOTHER ALSO, the Mother of us all!!!
Yes, that was not a very knowledgeable remark.
well he didnt protec anyone from these despicale horrors
Mary is not my mother.
Mary was a sinful Hebrew girl who was chosen to bare the son of God.
She is not divine.
She sleeps in her grave awaiting the resurrection.
@@weegeelana8523 it doesn't say in the Bible that Mary is the mother of us all. In fact Jesus said "who is my mother? Who is my brother? Those who do the will of my Father."
I recall seeing a cell filled with lighted candles in Auschwitz in remembrance of Fr Max. Very moving.
Hauntingly beautiful thank you father kolbe
Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee, is a beautiful thing to be saying as you go to meet your God.
Father Kolbe defies the Nazis by not greeting them with the Nazi salute but with the praise of Jesus Christ
Great human.🙏.God bless🙏
The true definition of heroism. A brave and noble person thinking only of others who are in pain and despair. How sad that the word “hero” has been devalued to such an extent that nowadays it means a footballer who scores a goal that wins a football match. 😢
So Powerful....bless you father..
Watching this on All Saints Day 2023.
Powerful, kind and moving.
Bravo. No unnecessary homilizing in this film, and as far as I can see a duly diligent attention to historical facts - the number on Kolbe's uniform, the apparently accurate use of red triangles sewn onto the uniforms of Kolbe and his fellow-prisoners. Today is a big day in 2023, being Saint Maximilian Kolbe's feast day in the General Roman Calendar, and the 82nd anniversary of his death. Saint Maximilian Kolbe, intercede for us.
Thank you!
All glory to God for people getting saved 🙌
Thank you for this. I immersed myself in some Holocaust history which left me bereft of any hope for mankind. This helped flip my perspective. We all need to conform to kindness toward each other. None of us survive this brief life, but while we are here, our purpose is to serve others... and with such, we will survive in spirit.
Amazes me how teachers, professors even several members of the house senate of the demorat party say the Holocaust have never happened.
Even FDR who many think was a great pos potus, a demorat denied what the Nazis were doing to the people the Jews and all.
FDR Turned away, if my memory is correct the ST LOUIS with 600 JEWS on board and would not let them come through as refugees. They were returned to Germany never heard from again.
FDR had forbidden USArmy from taking any pictures or movies of death camps, concentration camps and Gen Eisenhower pretty much said F YOU and made sure photos and movies were taken to prove to the world what Hitler did.
Harry S Truman, a US Army Captain and VP under FDR and when FDR the slime ball finally croaked Harry took over and was behind Gen Eisnehower to release the pictures and movies of the freeing of the living cadavers in the death camps.
Remember Demorats never approved that Israel would be recognized and even threatened Harry with impeachment if he recognized Israel. Harry was the 1st leader of the world to recognize Israel as a nation among all nations.
If you do not see from history then and now how one party is so evil and disgusting lookd around the globe and see the word Democrat and you will see evil.
I am not GOP I am not Trumpie I am a JFK Era Democrat but honestly I cannot support any demorat for the past 30 years and I never vote a party ticket.
Never forget HISTORY if we do we will repeat the same problems and get the same or worse results,just see it under herr biden
I'd like to see the full movie. As a catholic that I am, I'd like to thank the producers, director and actors of this film.
A true story about how Mengele and Eichmann escaped to South America would be also very interesting and informative .
A true story of how the allied prisoners were protected when the fell in Italy 🇮🇹.
I thought that was the whole movie :)
I went to Polish school in Montreal. One of the nuns who taught had been interred. I learned about Father Kolbe after she told us her story.
this man saved by Kolbe lived after the war in Brzeg, Poland, in my hometown
Boy, must he have had a tale to tell.
The fact that the guard felt bad for the inmates in the room broke my heart
...and this guard did nothing. that is why evil still exists and strikes
@@sergeydenisov15 Give it a rest, it's a made up story.
He was a coward and his father was the devil. If he had any of God's love in him he would have helped his fellow men.
@@sassycat6487How about you then? Don't tell me there haven't been situations where you didn't do anything to help someone. Are you the 'child of the devil'? No. There is no such thing. People do or don't do thing when they're afraid at the mercy of cruel people. But that's what makes them terrifying. They're people. Not monsters, not 'children of the devil', people.
for a moment I thought he would save them, but then I said no.
Merci pour ce film et à , saint Maximillien Kolbe
C est pas une série ? 😊
made me cry god bless him
That's ultimate compassion.
He followed the food steps of Jesus Christ and sacrificed himself for a stranger he didn't even knew. That's what it means to be a true christian.
That's. Wot .it. Means. To. Have. Compation.
Father Maksymilian is a great example of sacrificing his life for others ❤
In the most horrible of circumstances, in a Nazi concentration camp.
Vater Unser der Du bist im Himmel,Amen
The tour guide at the Birkenau told me that St. Maksymilian Kolbe stayed alive for longer than it would be possible under such conditions and didn't show his suffering until his last moments
IT TAKES A HEART TO BE MOVED AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE SUFFERING.ONLY OUR LORD JESUS CAN GIVE US SUCH A HEART.I AM HAPPY TO STATE THAT I AM PROUD TO BE CALLED 'HIS'❤❤❤❤❤
This brought tears to my eyes !
One, crucial scene of the conversation between the German officer and Fr. Kolbe was omitted or trivialised. He was so stunned by Fr. Kolbe's request that he started referring to him by "Sir", not mentioning the simple fact that anyone approaching KL staff without being summoned would have been shot on the spot.
After Fr. Kolbe' s and his fellow inmates' death, nobody was ever sent to hunger bunker again.
And it was 1941. The worst of that hell on earth was yet to come.
May the story of this brave saint man and also of Ms Stanislawa Leszczyńska, a midwife, who helped to bring into this world some around 3000 children whose place of birth happened to be KL Auschwitz, be the food for thought and an answer for the ever so often asked question: where was God then.
She has not lost any of these children at birth despite dramatic conditions, which meant no hygene, no clean water, no clean towel, birthing place being the stove in front of the whole barrack. Even Mengele himself did not dare to oppose to her.
We are ALL brothers and sisters from each other. We are All Equal to each other. Kolbe, Knew he woul'd be protected by god our creator, source of anyone, anything and everything and he knew he would be picked up and brought home by god. He had total trust on our creator. An act of a very old soul. What Maximilian Kolbe did was an True act of Love for a brother. In this era we need more of these souls to save the world from hate. I thank him for his act but also realize there were many of these during the war.

I was unaware of this story, so I am glad that the UA-cam algorithm sent it to me! Great film, and such an important story to share!
Jestem Polakiem i jestem dumny że tydzień temu mogłem asystować w nowo powstającym filmie u siebie w kraku o Ojcu Kolbe
Grandissimo santo . Che Dio li ab ua in gloria. Amen
Gratulacje❤
@@antoniettadilorenzo9064 na prawde niedawno w Polscs ktęcą finm o Ojcy Kolbe. Jako statysta uczestniczylem w scenach kiedy bydlęce wagony przyjechały do Oświęcimia. Bylo to kręcone w Modlinie pod Warszawą. Mam nawet filmiki nagrane prywatnym telefinem ale nie moge publicznie tego wstawic do internetu. Inaczej prywatnie
This was AMAZING!!!!! I hope you guys tell more of these heroes' stories
In Nomine Patris Et Filii Et spiritu sanctu amen
The true church, the church founded by Jesus Christ, not Martin, John Calvin, or Henry viii. The true church since it teaches eternal truth
God bless and thank you
Gracias. Thank you.
We have his light against the darkness, and his light is the light of God.
Great man from God......😇
Absolutely excellent film! Well done
To live, to love and serve God he shows all of that.
😢 This is why we should never ever forget history ！
Pray!
I don’t know why I never knew about this story about this Catholic Priest 🥺 and I’ve been studying about the Holocaust and crimes against humanity, the Einsatzgruppen executions for decades since the early 90’s
The Cell in Auschwitz I where Father Kolbe died is still there and is considered a holy place. He actually survived longer than all of the other prisoners and was killed via lethal injection because it was taking too long. When I went there I had an opportunity to see where Saint Kolbe passed away.
@@tcofield1967 that’s truly amazing and just gut wrenching that you’ve gotten to visit Auschwitz I. Did you visit the entire camp ? I can’t wait to visit Poland and go visit Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Plaszow camps and walk by Amon Goethe’s villa and visit Krakow, Warsaw hopefully in 2024
I have seen no evidence for this story actually taking place.
@@X50505 just the eye witness account of the man that said it happened
Father Kolbe is in Heaven....the Commander...in Hell....now...
You got that right.
We don't know that. But as catholics I think that we should have the hope that everyoke who sinned had the chance of repend ando convert to God. Maybe in heaven we will meet with that commander and we all will be able to talk about our own convertion
@@samanthamedina3932
Repent? I have read of mystical people that Hitler is in hell.Besides, I really don't weigh that Hitler ever repented.Besides, he also committed suicide.
Thank You FATHER
You gave your life for another man not of our faith, just as HE gave HIS life for all peoples of all faiths and beliefs then and now.
I do believe that when your spirit went to HIM, HE BLESSED he, EMBRACED you and said the words we all hope hear
Well done my faithful servant, well done.
Saints walk upon this earth every hour of the day and night.
They are of all faiths who believe in GOD and OUR SAVIOUR
A saint could very well be sleeping in a doorway this very moment, or it could be OUR LORD, seeing for Himself what the people of the world has become.
Saints are the guides to us humans to change our ways to get back on the path that HE wants us to be on.
From young saints to old saints of both genders.
Pray that they will help our prayers to GOD get to HIM and that HE will aide all of HIS children.
Pax+
Though a very short movie it is extremely inspirational thank you very much for sharing this with us and enjoy your afternoon ☺️☺️
This is real definition of Polish Power ❤
Kolbe could only do this because He loved Jesus and knew about judgement and live eternal.
Beautiful film 🎥 about St. Maximillian Kolbe +++
I never knew about this hero Father Kolbe!
This story touched my heart
This is a beautiful film
Oops typo error ::: 500,000 souls in all...
Not by my word, but Word of Most High himself...I try to emulate St Max Kolbe, but I am only a pale shadow....St Max Kolbe name is etched in YAD VASHEM, the tree of righteousness in Jerusalem..
He is one of the heroes whose name spread thru the Jewish communities after news of his sacrifice spread like wildfire....blessed be the clients of St Max Kolbe !!!
Likewise in the Hamas-Israel war, many stories of heroes are emerging !!! Foreigners, Jews and Palestonians alike !!! Praise to God
I'm a little lost in my faith, I'd say I feel more Jewish than Christian even though I was brought up in the Christian faith but Father Kolbe gave it all for Love and the Love of G.D.
I can’t say much to sway what you believe, but it’s good you aren’t an athiest
Très beau film.
It’s a shame they made such a mess with the uniforms. They had guys wearing SS hats and Army uniforms 🤷♂️
Tnx from Poland
Padre Kolbe,un grande! Che Dio ti abbia in Gloria
Does anybody know whether this start and ended just like this or does it have more like a full 1-2 hours movie?
Gloire à Dieu et à notre Sainte Mère l'Eglise !
i´m not an expert, but correct me, if im wrong:
The right officer's cap is from the SS (skull), but he wears collar tabs from the Wehrmacht, to be precise from the infantry of this one. The shoulder pieces are also missing.
And all of this takes place in an occupied area, far behind the front, which is why there should be actually no panic and no confusion with the uniforms.
Prova de amor maior não há, do que doar a vida pelo irmão 🙏
Honestly, a fantastic film
And first od all,a beautiful person!❤😮
コルベ神父の存在そのものが奇跡でした。聖母マリアに愛された生涯。清貧、貞潔、従順を完璧なまでに実践し、自己犠牲を厭わなかったその姿はまさに聖人です。日本の長崎でも布教されていた聖人コルベ神父。日本人としても感謝しつつ、世界の平和をお祈りします。
泣ける😭😭😭
🔥 MOST PRECIOUS 🩸 BLOOD OF
JESUS CHRIST, SAVE US
AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎
Seeing the guard eye tear up knowing he couldn’t do anything, that’s heavy as fuck. Not all of them wanted to be a part of the horrific war machine that is the nazis
Is there an actual full movie? If so, where can we find it
there are no such priests nowadays. Kolbe was one of the lasts
How would you know that?
Amen
pray for us holy man
St maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!
This Story is it worth to make a full movie.
Great video.
I have a question. What this yellow armband means because I don't know 2:02.
KAPO więzień funkcyjny
@@maxkol3032 Dzięki
If you are looking into the comments decide to watch this. I'd like you to please watch this short film. It will move you. ~♥~
you do not have to be a catholic , to see that character is measured by the price ,...... of what we choose ... to hold on to ,......and what we sacrifice ,.......for the sake of love bless him . .
Tantas personas fueron destruidas vidas humanas en
Il.etait saint et hero! Tout respect et glorie!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What is the name of this movie?
Die Schirm mütze ist super 😊
In the graphic novel Maus by art Spiegelman when his Vladek father first came to Auschwitz he was crying, and in despair, a Catholic priest came up to him. And using his number is on his arm, convinced him, he would survive this, and he said this brought him a new life within him as his number is total 18 the Hebrew number of life. And whenever things went bad later, he looked his arm and said yes, the priest was right. It tolls 18.
My church is named after this man!
❤
Que este homem que salvou o outro descanse em paz🙏🙏🙏❤
What were the red triangular patches on some of the victims?
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friends.
So the arresting SS guys (indicated by the skull at the head) had no shoulder pieces. The first guy had no collar tabs at all, but the second had those of the Wehrmacht. This "Kommandant" seems to have the shoulder pieces of a major but the collar tab of a lieutenant (Wehrmacht equivalent of the SS rank). He has an blank green sleeve band. The only green SS-sleeve band was for "East Turkish Waffenverband of the SS". No commandant of Auschwitz was ever commander of an SS foreigner unit afaik. The medal appears to be the service award of the NSDAP, which was only permitted as a ribbon on the small medal bar or in this type on the big medal bar over the breast pocket. In 1941 I don't think that wearing a swastika arm band within the uniform code. Praise to Kolbe though!
