The Mauthausen Committee said today that Leopold Engleitner died April 21. After refusing to renounce his faith as a Jehovah's Witness, he survived three concentration camps and forced labor between 1939 and 1945.
He weighed just 28 kilograms about 60 pounds on release from the Ravensbrueck camp in 1943 after he agreed to work as farm slave laborer. Later ordered to report to Hitler's army, Engleitner hid in the Tyrolean countryside until after the war ended.
