This man was considered to be thoroughly a villain. Americans hated him. Not a U.S. citizen, but more well-traveled in the U.S.A. than most Americans. He studied at Harvard for a time before returning to his own country.

Oh, my goodness, what a story! The Saint of Auschwitz - Maximilian Kolbe. This was riveting reading: auschwitz.dk/kolbe.htmGotta get to work ... trying to beat the next heavy rain so I don't get wet, lol. I have relatives in Pensacola, FL. Trying to get in touch with them to see if they're evacuating ahead of Hurricane Michael, which sounds like it's packing quite a punch.
