Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz, the professional live production that tells the dramatic story of one man who stood up to the evil forces of Nazism, holds a powerfully relevant message for our culture, at a time when religious freedom and values are under attack. Starring well-known actor and producer Leonardo Defilippis of Saint Luke Productions, this one-man drama will be presented on Wednesday, April 17, at Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Clawson at 7:00 p.m.
The drama poignantly illustrates the life of Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Catholic priest whose courage in the face of attacks against his faith led to his imprisonment in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was forced into slave labor, tortured and finally came forward to take the place of a married man, who was condemned to death by starvation.

The production runs ninety minutes, and is suitable for ages 10 and up. Admission will be a free-will offering.
