Bartholomäus (Barthel) Schink (German: [ˈbaʁtl̩ ˈʃɪŋk] ⓘ; November 27, 1927 – November 10, 1944) was a member of the Edelweiss Pirates, active in the Ehrenfeld Group (Ehrenfeld is a district of Cologne) in Cologne, which resisted the Nazi regime.
He was among the 13 members of that group who were publicly hanged in Cologne by the Gestapo on 10 November 1944.
[1] Although they were not tried, the group was accused of killing five people and planning an attack on the EL-DE Haus, the local Gestapo headquarters.
[2][3] Yad Vashem recognized Barthel Schink as Righteous Among the Nations for risking his life to hide Jews from the Nazi persecution.
