111: The Church and the Holocaust

Within the top left section of the Christian window, a Star of David can be seen behind coils of barbed wire. This is a reference to the poor performance of the organized Christian Church in response to the Holocaust during the Second World War. Kirk talks to the Rev. Dr. Stuart McDonald about the Antisemitism behind the Church’s silence during this period in history, and its continued presence in our society today. 
“It’s not going to take a couple of days. We’re talking about centuries in which Antisemitism has just grown within Christianity. And so, we need to begin the process -- or continue the process -- of moving away from that. But it is going to take time and listening.” – Rev. Dr. Stuart McDonald
