What actions did your religious leader take?

Am I right that the response to your question was silence, sandyeggo?

Not exactly silence.

I heard a distinct hissing sound.

Well, since I'm not a Lutheran, the closest "religious leader" to my theological understanding would be the reformed pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed by the Nazis for helping to free Jews, for preaching against the Third Reich, and for conspiring to assassinate Hitler.

But I guess if he had just kept his mouth shut, like Pacelli, he could have saved a lot more Jews...and maybe himself.
