| Summary: | In the first half of the twentieth century churches in Eastern Europe often promoted extreme nationalism and antisemitism. Their very effectiveness discouraged many bystanders from helping Jews during the Holocaust.

This journal contributed to a climate in which the Christian population would look on with equanimity or even assist as the Nazi New Order pursued the mass murder of all Jews. |
