So years ago I came across this talk by a nun named Sister Gaudia and Sister Gaudia is a Polish nun who goes all over the place and talks about the divine mercy.

But at this point she was telling stories about Auschwitz and part of the history of Poland.

She was talking specifically about the commandant of Auschwitz.

His name was Rudolf Hess and Rudolf Hess for three years he oversaw and he orchestrated the extermination of over 2.5 million people.

2.5 million people. Jews, Poles, Catholics, in fact.

At Auschwitz he presided over the extermination of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross who had formerly been a Jewish woman then an atheist then she became a Catholic nun.

He presided over the extermination the martyrdom of St. Maximele and Colby.

In fact at Auschwitz there was an entire barracks just for Catholic priests that were exterminated there.

He oversaw that. He also, while he was running Auschwitz over half a million people died because of starvation or because of disease.

In fact after Rudolf Hess's time was up at Auschwitz a year later he came back to make sure in to orchestrate and to oversee the extermination of over 400,000 Jews from Hunters.

He thought about Rudolf Hess, the common-dot and Rudolf Hess and just the wound he inflicted, he inflicted wounds on Poles and on the Polish people that will never go away.

He inflicted wounds in the previous part of the movement that inflicted wounds on Europe that will never go away.

That he inflicted wounds on people close to him that will never go away.

He inflicted wounds on himself that will never go away because they're the kind of wounds that won't go away because they are the kind of wounds that can't go away.

His choice is, his life has left scars on humanity.

His life has left scars on humanity.

Now you don't want to talk about scars for a second.

Come up for a breath quick.

Come back to World War II, don't worry, don't be too afraid of this.

But I was thinking about, we put on a bunch of high school confirmation retreats without the course of the year.

He was like, wow, father, leap, concentration camp, high school retreat.

It all makes sense in the end.
