Decades after the Holocaust, many assume that the churches in
Germany resisted the Nazi regime. In fact, resistance was
exceptional. Almost all Germans were Christians, and almost all
Christians in Germany stood by, becoming intentionally or
unintentionally complicit in Nazi policies and practices. In the
early 1930s, a movement emerged within German Protestantism with
the aim of fully integrating Nazi ideology, German national
identity, and Christian faith. The Deutsche Christen or, "German
Christians," as they were called, interpreted the Christian faith
and the role of the church in society in service of the Nazi
revolution. They married centuries-old Christian anti-Judaism to
the Nazis' racial antisemitism and sought to eradicate all traces
of Judaism from Christianity. The "German Christian" publication
program, designed to advance their ideology, included books and
pamphlets, radio talks and speeches, as well as liturgies and
retranslations of Scripture. This volume includes key responses
critical of the German Christians by Karl Barth and Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, among others.
