ANNO SJOERD (TITUS) BRANDSMA 23 februari 1881 – 26 juli 1942 Rooms-katholiek theoloog en pater. Voerde actie tegen de beïnvloeding van het onderwijs en de pers door de Duitsers. Gearresteerd op 19 januari 1942 in Nijmegen, verbleef in het Oranjehotel tot 12 maart 1942. Overleden op 26 juli 1942 in Dachau. Biografische gegevens van prof. A.S. Brandsma zijn te vinden op vele websites, waarvan er hier slechts enkelen gegeven worden:
After the invasion of the Netherlands by the Third Reich in May 1940, it was Brandsma's fight against the spread of Nazi ideology and for educational and press freedom that brought him to the attention of the Nazis. In January 1942 he undertook to deliver by hand a letter from the Conference of Dutch Bishops to the editors of Catholic newspapers in which the bishops ordered them not to print official Nazi documents, as was required under a new law by the German occupiers. He had visited 14 editors before being arrested on the 19th of that month at the Boxmeer monastery.
After being held prisoner in Scheveningen, Amersfoort, and Cleves, Brandsma was transferred to the Dachau concentration camp, arriving there on 19 June. His health quickly gave way, and he was transferred to the camp hospital. He died on 26 July 1942, from a lethal injection administered by a nurse of the Allgemeine SS, as part of their program of medical experimentation on the prisoners.
