Alois Andritzki (1914–1943)

Born 1914 CE, died 1943 CE.

Alojs Andritzki (firstname also written Aloys, in Upper Sorbian Alojs Andricki, 2 July 1914 - 3 February 1943) was a Sorbian Roman Catholic priest who suffered martyrdom in the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1943. He was ordained as a priest just prior to the beginning of World War II in which he became a vocal critic of the Nazi regime and its actions; this earned him their ire and he was arrested before being sent to the Dachau concentration camp where he was administered a lethal injection. His beatification was celebrated in Dresden on 13 June 2011.
