Blessed Emilian Kovch

After learning about many of the saints from our "Saints Alive" project, I have learned about the many people that have changed our world through the good of God. One that caught my attention was Blessed Emilian Kovch. Kovch sacrificed his life to save innocent Jews in a concentration camp. What inspired me the most was that Kovch was a priest who protected Jews during the Holocaust. When he learned that they were being captured and sent to concentration camps, Kovch began baptizing them as Catholics. He was arrested and sent to a concentration camp where he died in one of the gas chambers. Kovch immitated Jesus in that he sacrificed his own life for others.
