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.

Hitler was going around killing Jews, so to save themselves from getting killed, they had to hide.They also hid long enough to migrate to other, safer parts of the country.

Well, it was either that or get hunted down and arrested by the Gestapo. Once arrested they could be either immediately shot or transported to a concentration/extermination camp.
