Giuseppe Girotti (19 July 1905 – 1 April 1945) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Preachers.[1] He served as a biblical scholar on both the Book of Wisdom and the Book of Isaiah and served as a professor of theological studies prior to World War II where he worked to aid Jewish people and to shield them from the Nazi Holocaust. But the priest was arrested in 1944 and moved from prison to prison before being imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp where he befriended Josef Beran and Carlo Manziana.[2][3][4]
The beatification for the late priest was celebrated on 26 April 2014 in Alba Cathedral after Pope Francis confirmed the Dominican had died "in odium fidei" ("in hatred of the faith"); Cardinal Severino Poletto celebrated the solemn Mass on the pope's behalf.
