'Each time I saw Father Kolbe in the courtyard I felt within myself an extraordinary effusion of his goodness. Although he wore the same ragged clothes as the rest of us, with the same tin can hanging from his belt, one forgot this wretched exterior and was conscious only of the charm of his inspired countenance and of his radiant holiness.'

This is so true. One can definitely see and feel the holiness of someone like this.

I remember a few years ago the maried couple that he step forward to spare their life was still with us. I don't if they are still living.

Talk about strength his captures tried starving him to death I think 3times and he lived, finally had to give him a lethal injection af battery acid.

I hear the man giving that injection had a very hard time as Kolbe looked him in the eyes and he could not handle what he saw in Kolbes eyes yelling at him to turn away, this is from my memory of reading about his life so my facts may not be accurate. (Holy disclaimer, lol)
