Paul Schneider (1897-1939) was a German Reformed pastor, father of six, and part of the Bekennende Kirche during World War II. Schneider's unequivocal opposition to the quickly ascending Nazi regime led to his imprisonment, torture and eventual execution at the hands of the Gestapo on July 18, 1939. Until now, Pastor Schneider's story has remained less accessible to English-speaking audiences. This authoritative biography of Paul Schneider by Rudolf Wentorf appears here for the first time in an unabridged English translation by Daniel Bloesch.

Paul would not go along with these efforts. He was harassed. Detained for a few weeks, released, banned from going back to his church, disobeyed the ban, arrested and then sent to a concentration camp. At Buchenwald he was beaten, tortured, tempted to recant his position on National Socialism, but for two years remained steadfast. Witness testimony was that the doctor in the camp killed him with an overdose. The Pastor was one of many unsuspecting victims killed this way. Recalcitrant prisoners had their food spiked with a cardiac depressant and were subsequently "treated" with a stimulant that would be given to them in overdose amounts to kill them. Then they would put on their medical records that they died of a heart condition. ( )
