He was born in 1905 and died in April 21 2013. You may have read my earlier article about him.
Leopold was arrested because he refused to join Hitler's army due to his Christian neutrality. He was a prisoner in three different concentration camps and hided in the mountains the last few weeks of the war.

He was a man of faith and he truly loved God and his fellowman. I hope to meet him one day!
