Abstract

The article presents a re-examination into the response of Canadian Christians to the antisemitic policies of Nazi Germany during the 1930s. Historiographical claims of a lack of response from Christians are challenged through records from the Canadian National Committee of Refugees, which protested against the German Jewish refugee crisis which culminated in the events of the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938. Further discussion is offered regarding the religious culture of Canada in the 1930s.
