House servant at Oberwessel, Germany. Kidnapped and murdered at age 14 just after receiving Communion on Maundy Thursday in 1275. Venerated in Trier, Germany.
St. Werner is an example of a saint used for evil purposes. His masters were Jewish. Although they had nothing to do with the kidnapping and killing, the Nazi government laid the blame at their feet and claimed Jews have been trying to annihilate Germans for centuries, starting with St. Wernher.
