George Bell was one of the most significant British church leaders
of the mid-20th century and in many ways he came to define the
involvement of British church people with the issues which arose
from the Third Reich. Gerhard Leibholz, a brother-in-law of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was one of the most senior German lawyers of
the period, a refugee from Nazism who would become a founding
father of the new constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The two figures first encountered each other in the context of
dictatorship and exile and in a brilliant, sustained collaboration
over many years they fashioned a vigorous moral response to the
crises of Nazism, Soviet communism, total war and cold war. This
volume contributes fundamentally to our understanding of the
ethical, religious, legal and political debates which Hitler's
regime provoked. It also brings to life a vivid picture of the
realities of exile and the networks of support which were active
internationally in the great refugee crisis of these momentous
years. With its wealth of primary source material, previously
unavailable in English, this book is an important contribution to
the historiography of the Third Reich and will be of great value to
scholars and students of Nazism and international history.
