Title: Protest and Prayer
Description: Protest & Prayer examines the reactions of Orthodox British Jews and their leaders to the Holocaust as it unfolded in the years 1942 – 1945. It focuses on the efforts of Solomon Schonfeld, who was the leader of the Haredi community in Britain at the time and concentrates on the community’s efforts on behalf of the beleaguered Jews on the Continent as opposed to the assistance of refugees in Britain. 

Through extensive research into hitherto undiscovered documents, Tomlin paints a vivid picture of a segment of Jewry that was desperate to assist its’ brethren, but was faced with almost insurmountable obstacles.
