In 1933, more than ninety-five percent of Germans belonged to a Christian church (two-thirds were Protestant; one-third were Catholic). Dr. Carter-Chand will provide an overview of the religious landscape in Germany and explore how the Christian churches responded to the rise of Nazism. She contextualizes Nazi antisemitism within the long history of Christian anti-Judaism in European society and discusses how antisemitism鈥檚 legacies continue to be addressed today.
