This is story of the Dutch Carmelite saint, Fr. Titus Brandsma, who was killed in the Dachau concentration camp for his stand against Nazism. Fr. Brandsma as professor at the Catholic University of Nijmegen (now Radboud University) began teaching of the dangers of National Socialism and its incompatibility with Catholic teaching even before the beginnings of World War II. As a journalist and the bishops' ecclesiastical advisor to the country's Catholic newspapers, Brandsma traveled around the Netherlands in January 1942 advising editors not to publish Nazi propaganda. He was arrested on January 19th and began a journey through several Nazi prisons, ending up in the Dachau concentration camp. He was one of several thousand priests, religious, and ministers held in Dachau during the war. He died from a lethal injection in the prison hospital on July 26, 1942.
