Heinrich Himmler

Heinrich Himmler was born to Christian parents, and religious belief and church life were part of his parents' upbringing of their children. Himmler was taught at the cathedral school on Salvatorplatz and at religious education, he was graded "very good". He attended Catholic mass, confession and took on communion, and joined the Nazi party shortly after a speech by Nazi supporter and Roman Catholic Alban Schachleiter at a St. Boniface mass for Schlageter. As a leading Nazi, Himmler was one of the people most directly responsible for the Holocaust. One of Himmler's cousins was priest and Nazi member Wilhelm August Patin.
