About This Book

A documentary compilation of protests, statements and analytical essays by non-Roman Catholic churches and leaders opposing Nazi anti-Semitism and the persecution of Jews. The volume assesses how churches evaluated and reacted to persecution, outlines factors that prompted public protest, evaluates outcomes, documents assistance offered to Christians of Jewish origin and contentious practices labeled mercy-baptisms, and presents country-by-country chronologies and wartime events across Europe, Britain, the United States and international church organizations. It also highlights territories where churches remained silent and concludes with appendices, bibliography and supporting documentation.
