Otto Neururer

Blessed Otto Neururer was an Austrian Roman Catholic priest and martyr. He was the first priest to die in a Nazi Concentration Camp and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1996 on account of his martyrdom.

Otto Neururer was born in 1881 as the twelfth and final child to parents who worked on a small farm. He was a timid but academic man who battled depression like his mother did. He studied for the priesthood in Brixen in Italy and was ordained as a priest in 1907. He served as a curate and as a teacher of religious education.
