  • Adrian Van Kaam (1920 - 2007)
    Adrian Van Kaam (1920 - 2007) Priest, Duquesne University Professor. Helped the Jewish community in Holland during 1940s. “The Rev Adrian Van Kaam, a Catholic priest whose understanding of the dynamics of spirituality was formed as he smuggled food to Jews in-hiding during the Nazi occupation of Holland, died Saturday at the nursing home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, North Side.” November 20, 2007 Father Van Kaam, 87, a Spiritan, founded the ‘Institute of Formative Spirituality’ at Duquesne University. He emphasized how the soul is shaped and how faith is lived out in daily life. His reputation was worldwide. “He was a guru after the Second Vatican Council, especially for the renewal that was going on in religious communities,” said the Rev Girard Kohler, who had lived with him. Born in The Hague, Adrian van Kaam was in seminary when the Nazis invaded in 1940. He started a clandestine discussion group to help laity see what saints and scholars of the past had said about faith in dark times, said Dr Susan Muto, his long-time colleague in Pittsburgh. In the summer of 1944, believing that liberation was imminent, he went to a retreat in western Holland but became trapped behind Nazi lines after the disastrous Allied Operation ‘Market Garden’. There, he endured the “hunger winter” of 1944-45, when Hollanders had to survive on turnips, potatoes and toxic tulip bulbs. It was this ‘starvation diet’ that permanently ruined his health, Dr Muto said. He hid in a barn, but collected food from farmers to take to Jews and others in hiding.

The roots of both his great ingenuity and sensitivity are explored in this article from the perspective of a personal journey taken by the author in preparation for a full-fledged biography about him. Although still a work in progress, the current essay provides a detailed sketch of Martı´n-Baro´’s life as informed by interviews with relatives, colleagues, and close friends as well as extensive reviews of archival material, including Martı´n-Baro´’s personal and family records. It sheds light on the intricate connections between vital experiences of Martı´n-Baro´Јs life and his thought and choices as a social scientist. The impact of Martı´n-Baro´’s life and his legacy on the author is also described. A photo collage that covers his life, since his childhood, accompanies this essay.
