Emil Phillip
Emil Phillip (born July 29, 1886 - † November 20, 1965 ) was a German Protestant deacon .
From 1925 Phillip worked in the evangelical parish of Zossen , where he was the head of an inn at home , the “Zum Gardestern” inn.
At the end of June 1933, the Social Democrats and Communists were rounded up and tortured in Zossen . The Zossen pastor Otto Eckert , who belonged to the NSDAP and the German Christians , was repeatedly called in to this action . Phillip, a participant in the First World War and winner of the Iron Cross 1st class, complained publicly about the treatment of the Social Democrats and Communists and the actions of Pastor Eckert. Then he was on 19 July 1933 - probably at the instigation Eckert - arrested by the Gestapo in the Oranienburg concentration camp brought. A few days later, Eckert arranged for Phillip to be released from the concentration camp and transferred to Crossen on the Oder, now Krosno Odrzańskie . There he was again active in the field of diakonia and worked in the Confessing Church .
