Rebroadcast of the long-running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour," a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org

This week’s broadcast is the poignant story of a Polish army lieutenant during WWII. He is taken captive by the Nazis and imprisoned at Auschwitz, a sentence of certain death. Surrounded by unspeakable horror unfolding every day at the prison, the man plans to either escape or die trying. The officer’s life is changed by a fellow prisoner, a priest who demonstrates perfect faith in God’s will for his life.
