Hermann Scheipers was the last priest to leave the Dachau concentration camp alive. He traveled the world for years talking about his experience, always pinned to his lapel a piece of striped cloth from his prisoner outfit and a red triangle, the code by which political prisoners and priests were identified in the camp .
In Dachau evil was irrational, but so was good, as in the case of those who gave their lives as an offering to others. Today every time I raise the Eucharist I think of that priest who gave me his bread when he was dying, while speaking of the disciples of Emmaus.

Alois Andritzki was a young Sorbian chaplain who died as a result of brutal treatment by priests in the Dachau concentration camp. His death was probably caused by a lethal injection. Andritzki was dying at the time, a victim of typhus contracted at Dachau. To the concentration camp administration, he was just a bothersome worry weighing them down, for which he was simply eliminated. Alois Andritzki will be the first Serb and another Schoenstatt priest to be beatified
