Summary: "The Grey Book" by Johan M. Snoek is a collection of documents detailing protests against anti-Semitism and the persecution of Jews issued by non-Roman Catholic churches and church leaders during Hitler's regime, published in the late 20th century. The book explores historical events and the responses of various church bodies to the atrocities committed against Jews, highlighting theological considerations and the moral obligations of Christian communities. At the start of the book, the introduction by Uriel Tal establishes the significance of these protests within the context of Christian-Jewish relations and illuminates the Church's stance against Nazi ideologies. It discusses how early recognition of the threats posed by Nazism prompted different church groups to voice opposition. The introduction also points out that the Church's protests were not merely reactions to Jewish persecution but were also rooted in a broader struggle against totalitarian doctrines that threatened the Church's own existence. Tal underscores the dual moral responsibility of the Church to speak against both the persecution of Jews and the anti-Christian nature of the Nazi regime, setting the stage for the documents that follow in the collection.
