Book excerpt: On July 25, 1940, while helping to prepare for the celebration of Mass, Brother Raphael was arrested by the Gestapo police of the Nazi regime. The charges were based on seemingly inconsequential comments Rafael had written in letters back to family and friends in the Netherlands. His arrest began a five-year journey through a series of jails and prison camps and ended in the dreaded Dachau concentration camp. Today the sacristy in Mainz where Raphael received word that the Gestapo were waiting to arrest him is the chapel of the Carmelite community.
