On this day in 1943, Bernhard Lichtenberg died while being taken to the Dachau concentration camp. For years he had protested Nazi rule and oppression, publically prayed for Jews and other victims of Nazi violence, and preached against euthanasia. After a period of imprisonment, the Gestapo released him and offered to leave him alone if he stopped his protests. He refused, and kept preaching against the regime, paying the ultimate price. Guts.
