Maximilian Kolbe
Saw a documentary in Polish about him on tv yesterday
I knew the end of his story, but the documentary was most revealing
Ironic too that he set up a printing press in Nagasaki
But chose to be on the outskirts
He returned to Poland from Nagasaki
Where he died in Auschwitz
you can read for yourselves
I believe he is now the Saint for Journalists
What more can I say?
