Titus Brandsma: Journalist, martyr, saint of the 20th Century
Blessed Titus Brandsma – killed “in hatred of the faith” in the Dachau concentration camp in 1942, who refused to publish propaganda and was outspoken and opposed to anti-Jewish laws being promulgated by the Nazis – is to be canonized by Pope Francis on Sunday. His life was at the centre of a Symposium organized by the International Association of Journalists Accredited to the Vatican (AIGAV) and the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands to the Holy See.
