Blessed Engelmar Unzeitig was beatified in 2016. In a letter from Dachau: “What sometimes appears as misfortune is often the greatest fortune. How much a person learns only in the school of life. .. We should not be surprised if God takes from us things which are dear to us.”

Engelmar Unzeitig, a German priest, was sent to Dachau for making "insidious expressions" in defense of the Jews. During a typhoid outbreak he was one of 20 priests who volunteered to serve as an orderly in the barracks where the infected were left to die. He died on 3/2/1945.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
