From "Saints of Today and Yesterday" on Father Joseph Cziempiel:

"He was sent to the concentration camp at Dachau, Germany, enduring his grim fate with heroic patience.
On May 18, 1942 the fifty-eight year old priest was put to death in a gas chamber."

The subject of "Dachau gas chambers" is controversial, with some saying they were never used for their intended purpose -- murder.

What's known is that hundreds of clergy were sent from Dauchau to the Hartheim Euthanasia Centre.

"A total of 310 Polish, seven German, six Czech, four Luxemburg, three Dutch and two Belgian priests were murdered.
Many of them were transported from the Priest's Block in Dachau concentration camp."

Curiously, I can't find the name of Father Cziempiel among the famous victims of either Dachau or Hartheim Castle.

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.
