Robert Braun utilizes a geo-referenced dataset of Jewish evasion in the Netherlands and Belgium during the Holocaust to assess the minority hypothesis. Spatial statistics and archival work reveal that Protestants were more likely to rescue Jews in Catholic regions of the Low Countries, while Catholics facilitated evasion in Protestant areas. Post-war testimonies and secondary literature demonstrate the importance of minority groups for rescue in other countries during the Holocaust as well as other episodes of mass violence, underlining how the local position of church communities produces networks of assistance, rather than something inherent to any religion itself. This book makes an important contribution to the literature on political violence, social movements, altruism and religion, applying a range of social science methodologies and theories that shed new light on the Holocaust. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zBenelux countries. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zNetherlands. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zBelgium. 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 611 27 Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710189 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 651 7 Netherlands. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204034 651 7 Belgium. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210278 650 0 Church and minorities. 650 0 Ethnic relations |xReligious aspects |xChristianity. 650 0 Genocide |xReligious aspects |xChristianity. 650 0 Genocide |zBenelux countries |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJews |xRescue |zBenelux countries. 650 0 Religious minorities |zBenelux countries |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Church and minorities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00860489 650 7 Ethnic relations |xReligious aspects |xChristianity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916020 650 7 Genocide. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00940208 650 7 Religious minorities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01094193 651 7 Benelux countries. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01242373 650 7 Judenverfolgung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028814-6 650 7 Religiöse Minderheit. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4140292-3 650 7 Rettung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4231103-2 651 7 Beneluxländer. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4005490-1 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 Cambridge studies in contentious politics. 852 0 |bstacks |hBV639.M56 |iB73 2019
