In July 1941, Jan, a young Silesian, manages to escape from the concentration camp at Auschwitz. In revenge for this one fugitive, camp commandant Fritsch condemns ten prisoners to the starvation bunker. When one of them collapses under this sentence of death, the Franciscan priest, Maximillian Maria Kolbe, sacrifices his own life instead.
From now on, Jan is not only fleeing the Gestapo, but also his guilt for his involvement in Kolbe's death. For the rest of his life he will remain a prisoner of Auschwitz - in another, higher sense. After his escape, Jan will be confronted by the life of Maximillian Kolbe...
