Biography
Nikolaus Gross (German: GroÃ) (30 September 1898 â 23 January 1945) was a German Roman Catholic layman and trade unionist. Gross first worked in crafts requiring skilled labor before becoming a coal miner like his father while joining a range of trade union and political movements. But he soon settled on becoming a journalist before he got married while World War II prompted him to become a resistance fighter in the time of the Third Reich and for his anti-violent rhetoric and approach to opposing Adolf Hitler. He was also one of those implicated and arrested for the assassination attempt on Hitler despite not being involved himself. His beatification process saw it acknowledged that Gross had died in 1945 in odium fidei ("in hatred of the faith"). Pope John Paul II presided over the beatification for the murdered journalist on 7 October 2001 in Saint Peter's Square.
