Antonin Bajewski was a Polish Franciscan friar and priest born in Vilnius in 1915. After joining the Order of Friars Minor in 1934, he was ordained in 1939 and served as a vicar to Maximilian Kolbe. During the German occupation, both he and Kolbe were arrested. While imprisoned, Bajewski supported fellow captives by sharing his food and improving their spirits. He was eventually sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he died from typhoid fever in May 1941.
