Journal Title: Wrocławski Przegląd Teologiczny - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The article presents the profi le of Blessed Gerhard Hirschfelder, a Catholic priest, with particular respect to his attitude towards National Socialism in the Third Reich. His life testimony proves his radical rejection of this browshirt ideology, introduced by Adolf Hitler. Born and raised in Klodzko, Poland, and ordained a priest in Wroclaw, he performed his pastoral duties fi rst in Czermna and then in Bystrzyca. The author provides a number of examples of his noble approach to people, fi lled with dedicated love at the price oh his health and life, of which he was eventually deprived in the concentration camp in Dachau. His testimony of faith has been alive thanks to those who witnessed his life. Nowadays, this faith legacy is fostered particularly by the clergy as well as the lay people of the Świdnica Diocese, headed by Bishop Ignacy Dec, the fi rst bishop of the Diocese.
