2,579 Catholic priests, seminarians, and religious were deported from across Europe to the Dachau concentration camp, according to a newly published French book. 1,034 of them, 868 of whom were Polish, died there....

....141 Orthodox and Protestant clergymen were also imprisoned at Dachau.

Thanks for the afterthought, Catholic Culture.

I was in the Army stationed in Germany in 1960.

I visited the camp then.

It was a sobering experience.

Thanks for the afterthought, Catholic Culture.

Glass always half empty.

Firstly, it is a Catholic website so forgive them for focusing on Catholic priests.

Secondly, the numbers sort of demand it.... 2,519/141 is a factor of almost 20.

Would you prefer the article to lead with the statement that 141 Orthodox and Protestant clergymen were imprisoned in Dachau....and oh.....by the way....2,500 Catholic priests were also imprisoned?
