E248: The Untold Story of Maximilian Kol...

Lila Rose
About this episode

In this episode, we explore the incredible story of St. Maximilian Kolbe—a man who kept hope alive in the darkest place on earth. While many know of his heroic sacrifice at Auschwitz, fewer have heard how he inspired his fellow prisoners to sing hymns of faith and defiance as they faced death together.


For guest Anthony D’Ambrosio, Kolbe’s legacy became deeply personal. After enduring eight years of a mysterious illness that stole his ability to sleep, Anthony began to experience visions of St. Maximilian. These encounters became a source of comfort and strength during his darkest nights. When Anthony later traveled to Poland to honor his hero, God placed a new mission before him: to make a film on a shoestring budget that would capture the power of grace even in humanity’s most desperate hour.


Anthony said yes and in the process, he found healing, restoration, and a renewed calling to share Kolbe’s message with the world. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about faith, suffering, and the courage to answer God’s call.
