One of the selected men, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out 'My wife! My children!', lamenting his family, and Kolbe volunteered to take his place. __________________ He was imprisoned because the Germans considered him a risk, that as he had helped refugees, he would continue and potentially encourage others to do the same.
