Martin Niemöller

 Martin Niemoller:     '' Nationalist, Protestant pastor; Initially welcomed and supported Hitler/Nazism but disagreed with the Aryan Paragraph (excluded Jews from legislation, parties, groups, organizations, public) due to religious beliefs (virtue of charity). Founded Pfarrernotbund, which fought against discrimination towards Christians with Jewish background/bloodline. ''    Gradually returns to anti-semitism; later regrets 'not doing enough' for the Jews/victims.

Though a sympathizer for the Christian-Jewish community, Niemoller did not speak on behalf of the strictly-Jewish groups. By avoiding having to verbalize his views and concerns on the issues of Jewish rights publicly, he avoided as well the political interference by the Nazi Party.

Situational Attribution
 Martin Niemoller, as a German nationalist, felt inclined towards Hitler's promises of rebuilding Germany into the great country that it once was, and as a Protestant pastor, Niemoller took note of Hitler's claiming to protect the rights of the church, and his vows of allowing no laws to restrain said rights. However, upon finding conflict within the enforcements of the Nazi party, specifically from the installation of the Aryan Paragraph (which permits no non-Aryans - such as Jews, gypsies - to a profession or ownership of property; this clashed with the virtue of charity), he joined with other pastors in rebelling against the Christian-Jewish discrimination. All the while, he also helped found two religious-political groups, the Pfarrnotbund and the Confessing Church, to protect the rights of both Christian-Jewish members and the Protestant churches' rights.

 Later, as the growth of influence surrounding the Nazi party increases, he later reverts back to anti-semitism, preaching against the Jewish community and agreeing with the 'Jewish solution' of mass extermination.

 Niemoller's changing attitude during the Nazis' rule was, indefinitely, confusing - but to some extent, selfish. His political views were bound only to what had profited him the most, starting with Hitler's promises of nation-wide unification and religious prosperity, and switched into staunch rejection of the Nazis' policies shorty afterward once they inconvenienced the church and its members. If not for being bound by his wants towards the religious sect of Germany, then perhaps he might not have done so much to combat Hitler, and instead support him.
