Maximilian Kolbe (1894 - 1941), who is now venerated as Saint Maximilian Kolbe, was a Polish Catholic priest and Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in place of a man named Franciszek Gajowniczek in the German death camp of Auschwitz, in German-occupied Poland during World War II. He had been supervising the monastery of Niepokalanów near Warsaw, operating an amateur-radio station (SP3RN), and founding or running several other organizations and publications. The Catholic Church venerates him as the patron saint of amateur radio operators, drug addicts, political prisoners, families, journalists, and prisoners. That is quite a lot to be patron saint of, I hope he can cope with all the prayers in his name.
