Titus Brandsma, OCarm (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtitys ˈbrɑntsmaː]; born Anno Sjoerd Brandsma; 23 February 1881 – 26 July 1942) was a Dutch Carmelite friar, Catholic priest and professor of philosophy. Brandsma was vehemently opposed to Nazi ideology and spoke out against it many times before the Second World War. He was imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp, where he was murdered. He was beatified by the Catholic Church in November 1985 as a martyr of the faith and canonized as a saint on 15 May 2022 by Pope Francis. Source: Wikipedia (en)
