Alojs Andritzki (firstname also written Aloys, in Upper Sorbian Alojs Andricki, '2 July 1914 - 3 February 1943) was a Sorbian Roman Catholic priest who suffered martyrdom in the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1943.[1][2] He was ordained as a priest just prior to the beginning of World War II in which he became a vocal critic of the Nazi regime and its actions; this earned him their ire and he was arrested before being sent to the Dachau concentration camp where he was administered a lethal injection.[3][4][5]
His beatification was celebrated in Dresden on 13 June 2011.[6]
