“What we priests were forced to endure under the Nazi regime, especially in Dachau concentration camp, is no more than a cup filled from the vast sea of human suffering in the world today,” wrote Fr. John Lenz. “It is not this suffering as such that is important. The important thing is to show those who have crosses of their own to bear in life just what the grace of God can do for those who follow faithfully in the footsteps of Christ the Crucified. It is no less important to reveal the wickedness of Hell.”
The Nazi hellhole Dachau concentration camp held the largest number of Catholic priests — more than 2,400 — in the Nazi camp system. They came from two dozen countries, from every background — parish priests and prelates, monks and friars, teachers and missionaries. More than one-third were killed.
Among the survivors was Fr. Lenz, who was asked by his superiors to write an account of what he saw — and experienced — so that it would not be forgotten. This book, filled with gripping real-life stories and eighty photos, was the stunning result and became an immediate sensation.
Pope Benedict Hope Tile
This ceramic tile provides decorative encouragement and a reminder to not lose hope in uncertain times. The words "The one who has hope lives differently" are especially impactful coming from the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who witnessed the evil and corruption of Nazism in his youth. A beautiful homage that pays tribute to the remarkable pope after his passing into eternal life, this tile provides you with encouraging decor or a trivet at mealtimes.
