His efforts to counter Nazi ideology led to his arrest following the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940.

He was transferred to Dachau, once described as “the largest priest cemetery in the world,” on June 19, 1942. He died on July 26, 1942, following a lethal injection.

He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in November 1985 as a martyr for the faith.

A Catholic priest in Florida told CNA in 2018 that he attributed his miraculous healing from cancer to Brandsma’s intercession.

Fr. Michael Driscoll, O. Carm, was diagnosed with advanced melanoma in 2004. Shortly afterward, someone gave him a small piece of Brandsma’s black suit, which the American priest applied to his head each day.

He underwent major surgery, with doctors removing 84 lymph nodes and a salivary gland. He then went through 35 days of radiation treatment.
