[PAR35]

Drop the ‘i’ from his last name.

Wikipedia shows him as having died in Mauthausen, which would make some sense. The site that Homer is using is not known for its historical rigor. It’s pretty bad when folks will trust Wikipedia over a site that should know what it is doing.

It’s clear that many of the Polish priests went through Dachau; its also clear that they were taken elsewhere for execution.

Thanks, coffee too weak this morning. ;-)

PAR 35: "Wikipedia shows him as having died in Mauthausen, which would make some sense."

I can't find him in Wikipedia, but this site says:

"Bl. Joseph Czempiel of Jozefka [Józef] (Polish, diocesan priest, martyred by Nazis at Mauthausen [Germany] at age 58 in 1942 [beatified 1999])."

Problem is, Mauthausen was not a camp of mass gassings, but:

"Mauthausen was one of the few camps in the West to use a gas chamber on a regular basis.
In the beginning, an improvised mobile gas chamber – a van with the exhaust pipe connected to the inside – shuttled between Mauthausen and Gusen.
By December 1941, a permanent gas chamber that could kill about 120 prisoners at a time was completed"

PAR 35: "It’s pretty bad when folks will trust Wikipedia over a site that should know what it is doing."

Over time, Wiki's open system should produce more accurate data on non-controversial subjects.
Interesting to note that Wiki says nothing about gas chambers at Dachau, even though other sites go on at length on the subject.
