Synopsis

This book compellingly recounts a forgotten chapter of the Church's struggle for survival under Nazi oppression. It unpacks the complexities of faith and the complexities of faith and resistance in the face of the Holocaust. The author explores three little-known yet heroic stories of resistance against Nazi atrocities. These stories, set in widely diverse geographic locations, bring to life the choices and challenges faced by Christian leaders during the Holocaust, revealing the diversity of their responses. In one compelling narrative, the author presents the life of a courageous bishop who openly defied the Nazi regime in Poland. Another narrative uncovers a network of ordinary German citizens who established a secret seminary to train priests in the heart of the Third Reich. Finally, the book recounts the story of a group of Dutch Christians who hid hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis. Through these stories, the author challenges prevailing assumptions about the Church's role during the Holocaust, offering a more complete picture of the courage and resilience of those who resisted.
