Giuseppe Girotti, OP (19 July 1905 – 1 April 1945) was an Italian Dominican priest who was a biblical scholar and a professor of theology. During World War II, he worked to aid Jewish people amid the Nazi Holocaust. Girotti was arrested in 1944 and moved from prison to prison before being imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp, where he befriended Josef Beran and Carlo Manziana.[1][2][3]
Girotti was beatified on 26 April 2014 in Alba Cathedral after Pope Francis confirmed he had died as a martyr of the faith. Cardinal Severino Poletto celebrated the solemn Mass on the pope's behalf.
