Martyrs of AuschwitzSaint Edith Stein
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.
We were staying in the Convent of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, in Krakow, Poland. The good sisters wanted the little pre-school children to sing and perform skits for us.They were so proud of their little charges.
The children went from love songs to Jesus and Mary in Polish, to the only song they knew in English: Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.
Little did the sisters know why we were crying. As we scanned their precious innocent faces, all we could see were the precious innocent faces of children who, fifty years before, had gone to their horrible deaths in the Nazi death camps of Adolf Hitler. For you see, just two days before, we had walked the Way of the Cross through Auschwitz.
Our guide at the Concentration Camp said that no one leaves Auschwitz unchanged. She warned us that we would never forget Auschwitz! And she was right! For many years, we had avoided the ugly graphic truth of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. In the Holy Land, we avoided the Monument to the Holocaust. Whenever we visited Germany, we said our Rosary and the prayers for the dead as we passed quickly by Dachau. But stop and go inside? No way! I remember one time, when our daughter wanted to go inside Dachau, I said I’m so sorry, but I can’t!
When we wrote of Saint Maxmilian Kolbe, I found myself very emotionally connected with him, a Pole (and I am not Polish), a Franciscan (and I am not a Franciscan), a Priest and a Martyr. But as I wrote on the life of this phenomenal human being who would have been declared a Saint, even if he had not chosen to give his life for another, I found myself weeping uncontrollably, as his story went from my fingers to the word processor to the pages of our book: Saint and Other Powerful Men in the Church.
I knew then that we had to go to Poland! I wanted to discover our connection with Maxmilian Kolbe and the people of Poland, and especially His Holiness Pope John Paul II.
But still, I was not looking forward to Auschwitz. How would I be able to go to Cell Block 11, and stand in the room and look upon the spot where Maxmilian Kolbe was injected with a lethal dose of poisonous acid? How could I stand where he had stood with the other prisoners outside of Cell Block 17 in the scorching heat for twenty four hours? I didn’t want to go!
