Maximilian Kolbe: The Saint of Auschwitz

by Jean-Francois Vivier (Author),
Denoel and Joel Costes (Illustrators)

Here’s my full REVIEW

This is an exciting way to introduce young people to the lives of the Saints! The life of St. Maximilian is inspiring in His love, devotion, mission and martyrdom. The form factor of the comic book/graphic novel is excellent for reluctant readers, but will inspire the young and old alike!
