The Polish Catholic Church has called for a fitting tribute to hundreds of its priests who died during World War II at the Nazi concentration camp in Dachau.

“Dachau was the main camp for priests from all over Europe, and over half came from Poland,” said Mgr Józef Kloch, spokesman for the Polish bishops’ conference.

“We want to highlight this as we remember the camp’s liberation by the US Army, paying tribute to those who died, as well as to their spiritual achievements in such appalling conditions,” he explained.

I think that is a good idea. Why not honor priests that were not only killed at Dachau, but other camps as well? Or honor all priests killed during WWII?

You have to wonder why Fr Kun was not defrocked by the Church ?

But then, after WWII Hungry fell under communists rule and the Church was under persecution, so trying to investigate Kun most likely fell off the radar.
