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.

Servant of God Engelmar Unzeitig: "One sees again and again that the human heart is attuned to love, and it cannot withstand its power in the long run. We want to continue to do and offer everything so that love and peace may soon reign again." A martyr of charity.
