Michael, Robert (1987). «Theological Myth, German Antisemitism, and the Holocaust: The Case of Martin Niemoeller». Holocaust Genocide Studies(en inglés)2 (1): 105-122. doi:10.1093/hgs/2.1.105. «The foremost leader of the most significant resistance to Nazism during the first five years of the Third Reich was the Protestant pastor Martin Niemoeller. He — as well as most of the rest of the leadership —agreed, however, with the Nazi regime in its position on the Jewish question. Both Nazis and their Protestant opponents were antisemitic, based on nearly two millennia of theological Judenhass. They concurred that Jews were evil beings who deserved to suffer in this world. This agreement in anti-Jewish attitudes, along with other factors such as German nationalism and Lutheran Obrigkeit, weakened and nearly ruined the ability of the resisters to set themselves up as the moral opposition to Hitler. This kind of evil harmony between Nazis and anti-Nazis would be fatal for the Jews.»

I wonder about it is much as I regret it. Still, it is true that Hitler betrayed me. I had an audience with him, as a representative of the Protestant Church, shortly before he became Chancellor, in 1932. Hitler promised me on his word of honor, to protect the Church, and not to issue any anti-Church laws. He also agreed not to allow pogroms against the Jews, assuring me as follows: 'There will be restrictions against the Jews, but there will be no ghettos, no pogroms, in Germany'. [...] I really believed given the widespread anti-Semitism in Germany, at that time that Jews should avoid aspiring to Government positions or seats in the Reichstag. There were many Jews, especially among the Zionists, who took a similar stand. Hitler's assurance satisfied me at the time. On the other hand, I hated the growing atheistic movement, which was fostered and promoted by the Social Democrats and the Communists. Their hostility toward the Church made me pin my hopes on Hitler for a while. I am paying for that mistake now; and not me alone, but thousands of other persons like me.» También publicado en el libro: Stein, Leo (1942). I was in Hell with Niemoeller. New York: Fleming H.
