Reinhard Heydrich

Reinhard Heydrich was a Nazi and high-ranking SS member who played a key role in organizing the Holocaust. His mother, Elisabeth, was a pious Catholic that took religious education and participation in church life very seriously, and his father was a Protestant that converted to Catholicism. Elisabeth led her children in prayer, and on Sundays the family attended mass, and Reinhard Heydrich served as an altar boy in the local Catholic church. In his late 20s, he married Lina von Osten in the Protestant church of St. Catherine's in Grossenbrode.
