from Creative Catholicism · host creativecatholicism

In this episode of the Modern Martyrs, Father James Grant tells the story of Blessed Bernard Lichtenberg, parish priest of St. Hedwig’s in Berlin. Known for his quiet but firm resistance to the Nazis, he opposed their sterilisation laws, protested abuses, and publicly prayed for Jews after Kristallnacht. Arrested in 1941 for his prayers, he refused to compromise his faith and died in Nazi custody in 1943, leaving an enduring witness of courage, conscience, and Catholic integrity.
