The art depicting our saints is a modern painting by Zbigniew Kotyłło, adorning the Capuchin church in Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą, about 60 miles southwest of Warsaw. Brown dominates the painting, both as the color of the Capuchin habit and as a darker color of mourning.
The figures are, in the top row, left to right: Father Henryk Krzystofik (Dachau, killed through exhaustion, dying in the camp hospital weighing 77 pounds; Father Anicet Kopliński, an ethnic German killed in Auschwitz as “unproductive” (he was bitten by an SS-man’s dog during selection); and Father Fidelis Chojnacki (Sachsenhausen, died of exhaustion after 2.5 years internment). Bottom row, left to right: Father Ducki; and Father Fidelis Stępniak (Dachau, gassed as an “invalid”).
