Ces chrétiens qui ont résisté au nazisme.
Désolé pour la photo ,
À l’occasion du 73e anniversaire de la capitulation de l’Allemagne nazie, la rédaction d’Aleteia s’est intéressée à ces femmes et ces hommes, chrétiens, qui ont choisi de résister à Hitler et au nazisme. Parfois au prix de leur vie et celle de leur famille.
« On ne fait rien de grand sans de grands hommes, et ceux-ci le sont pour l’avoir voulu », a écrit le général de Gaulle, alors capitaine, dans son livre Le fil de l’épée. Ces mots, applicables dans de nombreuses circonstances, prennent un sens tout particulier lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Des milliers de femmes et d’hommes ont choisi de résister face à Hitler et au nazisme. Grands, ils l’ont été par leur volonté, leur conviction et leur dévouement. Cette résistance n’a pas été le fait d’un milieu politique, d’une classe sociale, d’une religion ou d’une tranche d’âge. Elle a été le fait de personnes qui se sont retrouvées et reconnues autour d’une idée, la France …Plus

Christians who resisted Nazism
On the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the capitulation of Nazi Germany, the Aleteia editorial was interested in these Christian women and men who chose to resist Hitler and Nazism. Sometimes at the cost of their lives and that of their family.

"We do nothing great without great men, and they are for wanting," wrote General de Gaulle, then captain, in his book The thread of the sword. These words, applicable in many circumstances, take on a particular meaning during the Second World War. Thousands of women and men have chosen to resist Hitler and Nazism. Great, they have been by their will, their conviction and their dedication. This resistance was not the result of a political milieu, a social class, a religion or an age group. It was done by people who met and recognized around an idea, France, and a conviction, to be free. This conviction was, for some, coupled with another certainty: the universal love of Jesus Christ.
Animated by the desire to pay homage to them, Dominique Lormier, historian, writer and member of the Jean Moulin Institute, publishes this May 2 a book entitled Those Christians who resisted Hitler. Through 27 portraits, key personalities or unknown, the author gives to (re) discover these women and men who, inhabited by their faith and their convictions, stood up against barbarism.

Aleteia: Why did you choose to write this book?
Dominique Lormier: I chose to write this book to demonstrate the incompatibility of Christianity with Nazism, a thesis defended by Michel Onfray in his book Decadence. The foundations of Christianity rest on the universal love of neighbor, which is in complete opposition to the foundations of Nazism, namely racism and anti-Semitism. In highlighting his struggle against communism, Adolf Hitler has tried to seduce many Christians and make them forget the pagan, anti-Christian and anti-Semitic origins of Nazism. The characters mentioned in my work, but all those whom I have not been able to quote, demonstrate, by their courageous engagement, the fundamental incompatibility of Christianity with Nazism. At the risk of repeating myself, the universal love of Jesus Christ represents the antithesis of the anti-Semitic and racist hatred of Nazism. Just read the Gospels: "Amen, I say to you, every time you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me. ", So says St. Matthew (Mt, 25, 40).

What place did Christians have in the resistance against Hitler?
The French Resistance has in its ranks many Christians, engaged in networks, maquis, free French forces, the army of Africa ... General de Gaulle is a fervent Catholic, as well as the four future marshals of the victory, Philippe Leclerc of Hautecloque, Pierre Koenig, Jean of Lattre de Tassigny, Alphonse June. Resistants of the first hour are often Catholics like Gilbert Renault (Colonel Remy), Edmond Michelet, Honore d'Estienne d'Orves, as well as the first rallies to free France (Jacques Savey, Pierre Messmer ...). More generally, I would say that all the French remained relatively passive before the anti-Jewish laws of Vichy during the years 1940-1941, but there was a turnaround of the opinion after the great raids of summer 1942 From then on, the non-Jewish French helped the persecuted or threatened Jews. A large number of religious establishments, convents, schools, boarding schools and orphanages have opened their doors to the proscribed.

The Church and Pope Pius XII have been criticized for not stating more strongly about Hitler's policy of extermination ... What do you think?
It seems to me necessary to recall a fact often forgotten: the encyclical Mit brennender Sorge (With a burning concern) written in the greatest secrecy by Pius XI and his Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII), with the help from several German bishops. This document, which appears in March 1937, is a charge against Nazism, designated as clearly incompatible with the faith of the Gospel. The encyclical is published in German and printed in several thousand copies distributed clandestinely in German parishes. During the second world war, the Catholic Church had to act with discretion not to endanger those of its members who acted in the Resistance or hiding Jews. Wedged between the hammer and the anvil, Pope Pius XII acted skilfully. More generally, because of the universal and international influence of Christianity inIn the world, it can be said that Christians have had an important influence. If it was not necessarily grouped, it was really effective.Why have chosen to highlight, in your book, these 27 personalities? There are so many! I tried to mix well-known and little known personalities in order to present a complete picture of the Christians who resisted the Nazi barbarism. All the people in this book were able to draw within themselves, in the foundations of Christianity, this divine source, this spark of the soul, which gave them the strength to enter into resistance Read also: Theodosius Morel, the man who wanted to live free or die Some testimonies have they touched you particularly They all marked me! To name just two of them I would say Theodose Morel, said "Tom" Morel. After a brilliant career among alpine hunters in the 27th Alpine Hunter Battalion (27th BCA), this remarkable officer returned to the French Resistance. From the first moments after the French defeat, Tom Morel went into hiding and joined resistance groups based in Haute-Savoie. He takes the head of a battalion, adopts the motto "Live free or die" and participates in operations since the famous maquis Plateau des Glières. He died in an interview he had asked his vanquished Vichy militia to spare a useless shedding of French blood. During the talks, a militiaman pulls out a gun and shoots at him. He died at the age of 28, on March 10, 1944. "When we have known a man like Tom, there is something changed for life," said father André Ravier, a veteran of the Maquis des Glières, a former companion and Tom Morel's biographer. The career of Mother Marie Skobtsov, born in 1891 in the Russian Empire, and settled in France in 1923 is equally striking. This Orthodox nun was entirely devoted to others. His conviction: "Overcoming the immoderation of evil by love and good without measure". In the autumn of 1939, she founded a uniform-making workshop for the French army, where Russian emigres supplied their sewing machine. It is in Christian that she enters the Resistance, since the German occupation of France. She saves many Jews from deportation (she will eventually be recognized as just among the nations, Ed). She will eventually be deported in April 1943 to Ravensbrück where she died in March 1945.

Nowadays many "traditional catholic" priests have the same mind: they are sympathizing with right-wing parties. There is nothing new under the sun... like old king Salomon said.
