At the beginning of World War II, Catholic priests all across
Poland were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps. This
memoir by Fr. Henryk Maria Malak (1912-1987) is their story and
his. Through the author's eyes we witness the German invasion,
atrocities against the local population, and the roundup of priests
from the region. A series of ""transports"" takes them to Stutthof
and Grenzdorf in Poland, then to Sachsenhausen and Dachau in
Germany. Fr. Malak spent more than four years at Dachau, and he
describes camp life in detail. (His final chapters are entries from
a diary he kept secretly near the end of the war.) Some priests are
selected for medical experiments; others are sent on ""death
transports."" Throughout their ordeal they face brutal treatment,
hard labor, hunger, disease. Although many perish along the way,
all remain steadfast in their faith and in their loyalty to Poland.
