HOCKENOS, MATTHEW D.
- Abstract
The article explores the pacifism of Protestant leader Martin Niemöller. The author reflects on the impact of the Second World War and Niemöller's abandonment of ultra-nationalism for non-violence and leadership in the German ecumenical movement. Emphasis is given to topics such as Germany's role in the Korean War, remilitarization, and Niemöller's relations with Protestants in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
