Fr. Maximilian Kolbe volunteers to join nine men in an Auschwitz starvation bunker and fights to forge a brotherhood of hope in the darkest place on earth.
We start where the world stops.
Most stories about St. Maximilian Kolbe end when he steps forward to take the place of a condemned man in Auschwitz. Our story begins there.
In Triumph of the Heart, Kolbe enters the starvation bunker alongside nine condemned men and fights to forge a brotherhood of hope from their suffering and despair.
A Saint for
the Apocalypse
St. Maximilian Kolbe was a Renaissance man—a friar, a founder, a creator. He built a thriving friary, launched a magazine that reached millions, pioneered advancements in modern press technology, and even organized the first public fire station run by a religious order.
But when faced with a truly apocalyptic war, Kolbe showed us something even greater: that Christian love can conquer the deepest horrors of the human condition. In the face of unimaginable suffering, Kolbe didn’t retreat—he stepped forward, offering his life to save another.
"The dominant artistic technique in Triumph of the Heart is like a Caravaggio masterpiece reemerging after 500 years.
