Thanks for this post. Many years ago I read a book about him - it was incredibly moving and spiritually inspiring. He is a saint without a doubt, even if it’s not official yet. I tried to find a photo of the crucifix some of his fellow prisoners made for him from scrap wood, barbed wire and I don’t remember what else. What a man, what a soul.
