We usually think of the holocaust as being focused on the Jews (and it was) but, there are other people that were also targeted for elimination. One group was religious leaders who did not toe the line and support National Socialism. This is the story of a Catholic priest, who was never told why he was arrested, who was sent to Dachau. He talks about the camp life and how people were killed and tortured in the camp and the incredible cruelty of the guards. It's a wonder he survived. A sad show more tale but important to remember when we strive to understand the totality of evil expressed by the holocaust. show less
