Abstract

In attempting to rescue victims of Nazi persecution, Bishop Bell of Chichester established aid organisations in England. He also worked through personal contacts, including his sister-in-law Laura Livingstone and Pastor Grüeber in Berlin as well as Jewish organisations and the Quakers. The Kindertransport trains in 1938/1939 were the last major success in this story, but an important development stemming from this new network of cooperation was the founding of the Council of Christians and Jews in 1942.
