Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish Franciscan friar known for his profound acts of charity and selflessness. He founded the Militia Immaculatae, an organization dedicated to spreading devotion to the Virgin Mary, and established a radio station and a printing press to disseminate Catholic literature. Most notably, during World War II, he volunteered to take the place of a fellow prisoner destined for execution at Auschwitz, ultimately sacrificing his life for another. His courage and compassion earned him canonization as a martyr by the Catholic Church.
