Kolbe, 20th century saint, was a Polish Franciscian Friar who was sent to Auschwitz during World War II. St. Maximilian stood up for injustice to the point of volunteering to die in place of a stranger by starvation. He is famous for saying, "For Jesus Christ, I am prepared to suffer still more."
He is the Patron saint of drug addicts, political prisoners, eating disorders, families, journalists, prisoners, and the pro-life movement.
