There were differing reactions. Considering that antisemitism stems from Christian teaching it was hard for Christians to object. In fact the number of high ranking Christians who openly objected was very small, but they include people like George Bell, and Mathew Parks who had previously warned that something like the Holocaust would happen if the Church continued in the way that it did (and was condemned for it). Roman Catholic Christians had trouble objecting as the Pope himself refused to object.

Many Christians - at great risk to themselves - hid Jewish families, or helped them to escape.

The people hiding and supplying Anne Frank and her family were all Christians, as just one example.
