Abstract:
Chronicles the tireless attempts by von Pechmann (1859-1948), a central lay figure in the German Evangelical Church, to issue (preferably jointly with the German Catholic Church) a condemnation of Nazi persecution of the Jews - all the Jews, not only Christians of Jewish descent. From the very beginning of Nazi rule, he turned repeatedly both to national Church bodies and to the bishop of his own province, Bavaria, Hans Oswald Meiser, but to no avail. The Churches persisted in their silence.
