The Christian Church in Nazi Germany

In the 1930s, more than 95 percent of Germans belonged to a Christian church, a majority of which were Protestant. Join Dr. Rebecca Carter-Chand, Acting Director of the Programs on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a discussion of the Christian Church’s response to the rise of Nazism, particularly in the context of the long history of Christian anti-Judaism in Europe.

This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series.
