The Life and Martyrdom of Father Titus Brandsma: The Dutch Carmelite Saint

By Fr. Paul H. Kizito OSA

What drives a man to stand unwaveringly for truth and faith, even when faced with the brutality of a Nazi concentration camp?

In The Life and Martyrdom of Father Titus Brandsma: The Dutch Carmelite Saint, readers are invited into the extraordinary story of a humble priest who became a beacon of courage and faith during one of history's darkest chapters. Titus Brandsma, a Carmelite friar and professor, stood boldly against the Nazi regime, denouncing their ideology as incompatible with Catholic teaching and human dignity. His unyielding opposition to propaganda and his defense of freedom of the press led to his arrest, torture, and eventual martyrdom at Dachau in 1942.

But this is more than a story of suffering-it's a testament to the power of faith to confront evil. As a scholar, journalist, and spiritual guide, Titus Brandsma's life inspires not only Catholics but all who value truth, justice, and compassion in the face of oppression. His heroic stand for Catholic values, his efforts to protect Jewish students in Dutch schools, and his work translating and sharing the wisdom of mystics like Teresa of Ávila reveal a life dedicated to both God and humanity.
