Maximilian Kolbe

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that Polish saint Maximilian Kolbe volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz?

• Reviewed: Ian and Richard Livingstone

Improved to Good Article status by Piotrus (talk). Self nominated at 21:05, 19 January 2015 (UTC).

• I remember reading about Kolbe when I was younger - probably the first time I came across Nazism, though the anti-semitic accusations are new to me. New enough (18 Jan) and long enough (~12k chars). Sourced and neutral. A lot of mirrors popping up on Earwig but I don't think there's any copyvio (feel free to trout me if I'm wrong). Hook is stated and sourced to catholic-pages.com (can also be found on this BBC page). QPQ done. Good to go. Fuebaey (talk) 23:38, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
