Let not anyone pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.
John Stuart Mill, 1867
Hattip to HappyAcres. The story of the murder of Czeslawa Kwoka has been making the rounds of the internet. Just one of the tens of millions of victims of the attempt by Adolph Hitler seventy years ago to bring to reality his nightmarish vision of the future of humanity.
Kwoka died in the camp in March of 1943.
Let Czeslawa’s memory remind us that evil is ever plentiful in this Vale of Tears and that it is the duty of all decent people to combat it. When good people turn away and forsake this duty, the consequences to the innocent are often horrific.
Three months… So many thoughts… yet I am speechless.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.Amen
This is what Obama and the Democrats will do to Christians. It is what they are already doing to unborn babies. Adolf Hitler still lives. 🙁
Auschwitz prisoner #17760 Pray for us!
Maximilian Maria Kolbe Saint of Auschwitz, patron of the pro-life movement Pray for us!
In the basement of Marytown, the National City of the Immaculate, a recreation of the death camp has been on display for over 23 years. One wall has photos of young prisoners not unlike Czeslawa’s.
The horrors that these innocents endured give us moments to examine our priorities, and recognize the great need to be active in our local Right to Life chapt.’s. Forty days for Life is still on. Please spend one hour in public prayer in front of a P.P. Do it for the sake of the children…please.

Not to disrespect the thousands of prayers my parents prayed for my conversion, St. Kolbe is a key figure in my return to the Holy Sacraments.
Great presentation back in 09′.
The Saints are Alive! We must never forget to call on them. 🙂
