Focusing on the 600,000 self-identified 'German Christians,' Doris Bergen examines their collaboration with Nazism, highlighting their efforts to eliminate Jewish influences from Christianity. This group, comprising both laypeople and clergy, rejected the Old Testament and removed Jewish elements from worship. Bergen argues that they held significant positions within the Protestant church despite their agenda being dismissed by Nazi leaders. She also explores their reintegration into church life post-1945 and the influence of women and the concept of spiritual motherhood within their movement.
