| Summary: | A Catholic resistance group formed in Berlin after the violence of the “Night of Broken Glass” was perpetrated against Jews during the second week of November 1938. The Berlin circle helped Jews escape from Germany and assisted those who remained up to the time of their “transportation” and even afterwards.This circle is especially notable because it attempted to influence the entire Catholic church to react and protest Nazi antisemitism. Through its contacts with Nazi bureaucrats and with other German resisters, the Berlin Catholics obtained accurate information on the Holocaust.In the end, the Berlin circle succeeded in helping many Jews but failed to overcome opposition within the Catholic church against a public church protest regarding antisemitism. |
