How did Christian churches help hide Jews?

OK.......here is one who was apart of the Dutch underground. Her and those like her, spurred into action by their Christian convictions, did what they could. Many died in the camps as well, including Ms. Ten Booms family. She barely made it out. I think we often focus on the darkness(what went wrong and the enormity of the darkness), which is right and proper to a point, instead of focusing on the points of light that fought the Nazi's. I believe it would do us well to look at what went right, and learn from it. http://www.soon.org.uk/true_stories/holocaust.htm

What countries helped the Jews during the Holocaust?

Some individuals helped: no country helped as a country.IMPROVE: It is true that no complete country, as one, had completely hid the Jews.However, in countries in Poland, many people helped hide thousands of Jews. The Poles and Polish Jews were allied with each other because they just wanted to protect their homeland and defend their freedom from the Germans that invaded Poland.There are some other country's people that helped. In Bulgaria, they managed to save their entire Jewish population from deportation and shipment to concentration camps.In Albania, the people stood and protected their Jews because they were Muslim, and they believed in their religious morals.


How did dutch people help Jew people during the war?

The Dutch people tried to hide them, feed them while they hid and they also tried to help them escape by boat to get to England. They had a magnificent Underground Resistance in the Netherlands and they worked in cooperation with the Brits and American. They also helped the Jews get away on the "Underground Railroad". This escape line got many hundreds of Jews out of the Netherlands to safety. Some of the Jews made it to Sweden and England.

Were most people open to hiding Jews?

No. The penalties were very severe, and not that many people cared enough to take the risks.AnswerI believe many people did hide Jews, but they successfully did so, therefore it was not ever common knowledge. I was talking it over with others, and we decided that "we couldn't not" help if it ever came up.

Why did Jewish people have to hide during World War 2?

In order to avoid being sent to a death camp many Jews had to hide. In the second world war Hitler decided that he would try and rid the world of Jews. Any Jew from any age group (babies, children, women, men) in places like Germany, Poland and Russia were sent to labour camps or death camps. They were either slaves to the government being fed next to nothing or if they were deemed not "useful" for the government they would be killed straight away. Of course the plan was to in the end kill all Jews. By the end of the holocaust six million Jews were killed and no one had bothered to save them. Over a million of these people were children. We can only hope that this kind of cruel mass murder never happens again. true dat
