| Summary: | The question, how the Christians in Germany reacted to the persecution of the Jewish citizens in the Hitler period has still been as irritating as before. To provide an explanation for their attitude towards Jews one must first ask for the function of anti-Semitism in the Nazi outlook on life and then explore its roots in German history as well as its outstanding features. This investigation comes to the conclusion that the Protestant Christians and their churches largely agreed that the anti-Judaistic anti-Semitism of the Nazis in spite of the break of historical continuity in 1933. That view is presented from two aspects: on the one hand the different phases of the persecution of the Jews are taken into consideration on the other hand the statements of different groups within the Protestant churches are analyzed. As a result public protest — if it did articulate at all —, a troubling fact as it might have been, turns out to have arisen particularly from those parishes and groups, which were following the radical Dahlem-wing of the „Bekennende Kirche". |
