Erich Klausener

Erich Klausener was a German businessman and a prominent conservative, Catholic leader during the early 20th century. He opposed the Nazi regime's oppressive policies and its suppression of religious and democratic institutions. As a supporter of traditional values and human rights, Klausener became a vocal critic of Hitler’s government. His opposition made him a target, and he was tragically murdered during the Nazi's infamous Night of the Long Knives in 1934. His actions and resistance are remembered as symbols of moral courage against totalitarian brutality.
