The Nazis really didn’t care who died, as long
as someone did, so they pushed Gasovnachek aside
along with his precious little boy and took the
Franciscan priest instead. Maximilian and nine
others were put into a chamber by themselves.
Eventually their bodies became too weak from lack
of food and water and they all perished on August
14th, 1941.
This story was shown on the NBC several
years later. At the time of the airing Gasovnachek
was 82 years old. Throughout the interview he
could not stop crying while telling the story. He
could not believe that a random priest whom he
barely knew would lay down his life for a German
Jew, but to this day he is grateful. Wouldn’t we be
grateful for such a sacrifice? Shouldn’t we be
grateful for such a sacrifice?
In John 15.13 we read “Greater love has no
one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his
friends”. This is true love, the same true love that
Christ showed while hanging on the cross. Let us
demonstrate this love, let us love others so much
that we are prepared to give ourselves for their
sake. Let us always love and never stop.

No Greater Love
John 15.13
In February of 1941 a Franciscan priest named
Maximilian Kolbe was sent to Auschwitz, Poland. He
was being sent to the famous death camp for helping
Jews escape from the horrible Nazi regime.
Months after Maximilian arrived, an escape took
place. The escape failed and harsher rules were enforced. To show an example of force the Nazis decided to murder ten people. These people would be
rounded up randomly and herded into a cell where
they would die a cruel death of starvation. By doing
this the Nazis thought “never will anyone attempt an
escape again.”
As they were rounding up random hostages, the
name Frandishek Gasovnachek was called. Upon
hearing it Gasovnachek’s little boy grabbed his leg
and began crying in terror. He did not want his daddy
to die. While they were grabbing him Gasovnachek
screamed “No, no, please I have a wife and children”.
The cruel German soldiers had no compassion on him
or his boy and were marching him forward anyway.
After witnessing this, the Franciscan priest
Maximilian stepped forward and said “please, take me
instead”. He was truly giving of himself.
Continued on back….
We show our love by the way we treat others.
