The issue is highly controversial. He certainly stood up for the Evangelical Church in Germany, including converts to Christianity from Judaism and their descendants. He spent 1937-45 in concentration camps for this. However, his instincts at the time were anti-Judiastic and remained so till some time after World War 2.
On the basis of this, you can have a go at deciding where he stood, but please bear in mind that he in a concentration camp throughout the Holocaust.

Who was Martin Niemoeller?
In World War 1 Niemoeller commanded a German submarine (U-Boot).Later he became a Lutheran pastor, with a parish in the Berlin suburb of Dahlem. By instinct, he was a German Nationalist and initially welcomed the Nazi seizure of power. However, when the Nazis interfered in the internal running of the Evangelical Churches in Germany, Niemoeller and other established the Confessing Church (Bekennende Kirche). The 'official', government-backed church claimed that Christ was a 'heroic warrior' against Judaism, wanted to remove the Old Testament from the Bible and place converts from Judaism in special congregations. Niemoeller and the Confessing Church resisted these innovations.Niemoeller was arrested in 1937 and charged with 'misusing the pulpit for malicious attacks on the state' (government), among other things. In 1938 he was acquitted of most of the charges and set free, but he was immediately re-arrested by the Gestapo on leaving the court building and never put on trial again. He spent the years 1938-1945 in concentration camps.Later, he became a pacifist. He also became controversial in West Germany for opposing the widespread anti-Communism of the Cold War. He is also well known for the little poem, 'First they came for ...' (There are various versions).

Why did they hide Jews?
This probably discusses World War 2. A number of Christians hid the Jews. Pastor Martin Niemoeller, was upset because there were only 50 Protestant Pastors in the concentration camp with him for assisting the Jews in their attempts to escape the Holocaust while there were 450 Roman Catholic Pastors. About 3,500 Protestant Pastors were killed for trying to help Jews escape the Holocaust. A number of Roman Catholic Priests were killed. Still, the safest place for a Jew to go was to a Roman Catholic Priest. They knew the routes that took the Jews from one Parish House to the next. Once the Jews were in Romania, they were safe from Hitler. They went from Romania to Palestine which became Israel. Of course a number were caught and many Roman Catholic priests were killed. An alternative route was up through protestant Denmark to Sweden.
