Mártires Cristianos Bajo El Nazismo - Paperback

by Santiago Mata Alonso-Lasheras (Author)

Those familiar with Nazism and World War II know of Hitler's hatred of the Jews. Less well known, however, is the aversion that, from adolescence, Hitler cultivated towards Christianity. This book tells how Hitler became a dictator with the support of millions of Germans despite the resistance of many others. In defense of citizen rights and their faith, many Christians preferred to risk death by refusing to apostasy or simply defying the prohibition to live their faith and help others. Extrajudicial executions as a result of rigged trials were the fate of many martyrs whose consequences were terrible: they suffered persecution and many thousands of them also ended up in concentration camps. The Catholic and Orthodox Churches have raised hundreds to the altars, who are also honored as martyrs in the Evangelical Church. Santiago Mata narrates the life of many of those who are considered martyrs by the Christian Churches.
