"Recent events make it necessary to stress that all the members of the Society in Ireland condemn as false, offensive, and unacceptable any form of anti-Semitism, including the denial or minimization of the Jewish genocide during World War II. For us it is beyond discussion that a systematic and organized evil plan of persecution and extermination of the Jewish race took place during the Nazi regime. Furthermore, Rene Lefebvre, the father of our founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, died in 1944, after one year of sufferings and mistreatment in the Nazi concentration camp of Sonnenburg. Similarly, Venancio de Angles y Angles (+1941), Estanislao Angles Vilanova (+1941), and Pedro Angles Garcia-Santangel (+1945), were assassinated in the concentration camp of Mathausen-Gusen, all of them close relatives of our district superior.

This is good. I knew about Mgr Lefebvre's father (Michael Davies mentions it in his Lefebvre biography) but not about Fr Angles' relatives.

Interesting indeed, but how and why did relations of Fr Anglés come to be in Mauthausen? A very good question, Michael, especially given some lurid internet reports about the same Fr Angles' politics.
