But if you think the Churches of Germany spoke out publicly against Nazi atrocities, then you might want to provide us with references to newspaper or radio reports of the time which spoke of such things.

For starters, I'd recommend you spend some time reviewing Homer's posts. Here are a couple of recent ones that come to mind.

Nov 09, 1941

Nov 12, 1941

I would suggest that such reports are almost non-existant, and even those which Homer has reproduced here, where the Pope refers to the plight of Catholics in Poland, are vague and unspecific to the point of being meaningless.

Just by reading what Homer posts, you should have been seeing one or two such reports per month. Then, in light of those times when suffering was universal throughout Europe, imagine the level to which something had to rise before being carried by foreign press.

Neither article says anything about atrocities against Jews, or anyone else for that matter -- unless you count the words "intensive Nazi measures" as adequate to describe the beginnings of the Holocaust.

fso301: "Just by reading what Homer posts, you should have been seeing one or two such reports per month."

Sure, one or two articles with very vague references to something the Nazis were doing -- nothing even remotely indicating the scale or horror of those events.

fso301: "Then, in light of those times when suffering was universal throughout Europe, imagine the level to which something had to rise before being carried by foreign press."

Think about it: who other than various church organizations really understood what the Nazis were doing, and could have alerted the world to it?

Yes, I understand why they didn't, but let's not pretend something happened which in fact didn't.
