Thank God that one of the more brutal aspects of the Holocaust has been
memorialized. What these poor souls suffered should never be forgotten.

Nazi concentration camp unveils monument to Catholic priests killed in
Holocaust
Berlin, (CNA).- A new stone sculpture was unveiled in Germany this weekend
to commemorate the many Catholic priests and monks killed in a lesser-known
World War II Nazi concentration camp near Berlin.
The sculpture, unveiled Saturday, is engraved with a cross and the names of
96 clergy who died at Sachsenhausen concentration camp on the north-west
outskirts of Berlin, reported Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
Cardinal Jozef Glemp, primate of Poland, attended the ceremony as most of
the priests were Polish.
To date, historians working for the Archdiocese of Berlin have documented
the names of 711 Catholic clergy from Poland, Germany, and other European
nations who were incarcerated in the Sachsenhausen camp.
Hundreds were later transferred to Dachau and other Nazi sites, where they
died. One of the surviving inmates, Kazimierz Majdanski, now 90, went on to
become Catholic bishop of Szczecin-Kamien.
