Titus Brandsma: Writings from Prison

The Dutch Carmelite priest and professor of philosophy, Titus Brandsma, was one of the public personalities in The Netherlands who dared to openly resist the National Socialist ideology of Hitler’s Germany. He insisted on the freedom of the Catholic press to refuse to print Nazi propaganda. Fr. Titus was duly arrested on January 20, 1942, and spent time in several prisons and concentration camps until his death in Dachau on July 26, 1942. In spite of the difficult circumstances during his imprisonment, he continued to write as far as it was possible.

In this volume, we present all his writings during the last six months of his life.
