The article aims to analyze the situation of religious prisoners in the Nazism concentration camps and specifically in Dachau. Also to make known the figure of Ignacio Cruchaga, in all probability the only Spanish religious prisoner in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Among studies of deportation in Spain, the deportation of men and women linked to exile after the Civil War has been analyzed. The analysis of the figure of the "lasallian religious" has gone unnoticed.
