U Immediately after the liberation of the concentration camp, he served for two weeks as a chaplain and chronicler among the prisoners. Shortly thereafter, he organized extensive pastoral care programs for former SS members who were housed in the SS prison camp under American control at several locations in Ebensee. The lecture provides insight into Loidl’s work and self-conception and contextualizes it within the Catholic Church’s approach to former National Socialists.
