What do Easter and Carl Lampert have in common? They are both characterized by resistance. Bishop Hermann Glettler explains why it is important to be against it in an Easter interview with the "Tiroler Krone".

We are in the Monastery of Perpetual Adoration in Innsbruck. This place is significant - and not just because this year is dedicated to prayer. The Nazis wanted to close this convent like so many others and have the members of the order arrested, but the sisters refused. The priest Carl Lampert was then arrested - and not for the last time. Throughout his life, Lampert resisted the National Socialists until he was murdered by them.
