The Life and Letters of St. Dimitri Klepinin, Martyred during the Holocaust
by Helene Arjakovsky-Klepinine
In February of 1943, Fr. Dimitri Klepinin, an Orthodox priest serving the Russian emigre community in occupied Paris, was arrested by the Nazis for issuing false baptismal certificates to Jews. One year later, he died in the concentration camp at Dora, near Buchenwald--a camp known as "the Man-Eater."
