De Nederlandse kerken en de joden, 1940-1945 / De protesten bij Seyss-Inquart, hulp aan joodse onderduikers, de motieven voor hulpverlening

The study surveys responses by Dutch churches to the persecution of Jews under Nazi occupation, compiling pulpit protests, synod deliberations, and pastoral letters that reveal both moral opposition and institutional hesitancy. It documents how ecclesiastical and lay networks organised concealment and assistance for Jews in hiding, explores the motives and personal experiences of helpers, and considers special cases such as baptized Jews. The final part examines postwar assessments, disputes over responsibility, and historians' debates, closing with reflective observations on memory, judgment, and the ethical lessons drawn from these wartime choices.
