In one of the darker aspects of Nazi Germany, churches and universities - generally respected institutions - grew to accept and support Nazi ideology. Complicity in the Holocaust describes how the state's intellectual and spiritual leaders enthusiastically partnered with Hitler's regime, becoming active participants in the persecution of Jews, effectively giving Germans permission to participate in the Nazi regime. Ericksen also examines Germany's deeply flawed yet successful postwar policy of denazification in these institutions.

An endlessly perplexing question of the twentieth century is how ?decent? people came to allow, and sometimes even participate in, the Final Solution. Fear obviously had its place, as did apathy. But how does one explain the silence of those people who were committed, active, and often fearless opponents of the Nazi regime on other grounds?those who spoke out against Nazi activities in many areas yet whose response to genocide ranged from tepid disquiet to avoidance? One such group was the Confessing Church, Protestants who often risked their own safety to aid Christian victims of Nazi oppression but whose response to pogroms against Jews was ambivalent.

How much did American Protestants know about the Nazi persecution of European Jews before and during Word War II? Very little, many of them claimed in the postwar years. Robert W. Ross challenges that answer in this analysis of the ways in which Protestant journals ranging from The Christian CenturyÓ to The Arkansas BaptistÓ reported and editorialized on the subject from 1933 through 1945.

Argues that not all of Germany was enthusiastic about the Nazi regime, including its policies against the Jews, and that it is wrong to make improper generalizations on the Germans as a guilty nation. Brings numerous examples of Germans who helped Jews in 1933-45 and rescued them when the mass murders began. If even expressing compassion to Jews or protesting against Nazi politics in 1933-38 could be punished, so rescue of Jews during the war could inflict capital punishment on the rescuer. Dwells specifically on the attitudes and activities of the Churches vis-à-vis the Nazi persecution of Jews. The Catholic and various Protestant Churches, as institutions, failed to do their most to help Jews or Jewish converts to Christianity. But some clergymen of various denominations, from rank-and-file to higher up in the hierarchy, rescued Jews and Jewish converts and some paid for it with their lives. Although Catholics did more for victims of Nazi racial persecution than Protestants, as a whole the failure of the Catholic Church to withstand the Nazi policies presents a more grievous picture given its international character and greater independence of the Nazi state.

”The subject matter of this book is controversial,” Guenter Lewy states plainly in his preface. To show the German Catholic Church’s congeniality with some of the goals of National Socialism and its gradual entrapment in Nazi policies and programs, Lewy describes the episcopate’s support of Hitler’s expansionist policies and its failures to speak out on the persecution of the Jews. To this tragic history Lewy brings new focus and research, illuminating one of the darkest corners of our century with scholarship and intellectual honesty in a riveting, and often painful, narrative.
