Based on work conducted by scholars as part of a Summer Research
Workshop organized by the Center for Advanced Holocaust
Studies/United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
in 2007, this book takes a fresh look at how American Protestants,
Catholics, and Jews responded to the Nazi persecution of Jews in
Germany and German-occupied territory in the 1930s. The essays
focus specifically on American religious responses to the November
9-10, 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom known as Kristallnacht. Today
understood as the first act of the Holocaust because of its
systematized brutality against Germany's Jews, Kristallnacht,
generated a dramatic response among mainline Protestants, Catholic
clerical and lay leaders, Orthodox Jews, Protestant
fundamentalists, and Jewish War Veterans. Together, the essays
represent the first examination of multi-religious group responses
to the beginnings of one of the pivotal moral events of the
twentieth century, the Holocaust. They possess implications for the
history of anti-Semitism globally and in the U.S., the history of
interfaith cooperation and religious belief in America, the
influence of American ideals on religious thought, and the impact
of historical events on Jewish and Christian theology.
