Footnotes

"... FOR VICTIMS OF MASS MASSACRES OF JEWS IN NAZI LANDS" - a group of Orders of Service for the fate of Jews persecuted in Germany under the Nazis from 1933 to 1945. The earliest, six months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor, was a service of intercession attended by ten thousand Jews at the Royal Albert Hall on 9 July in which the Chief Rabbi warned "nothing less than the extermination of the Jews would satisfy the wider spirits of the Nazis". Others include a service "for the Jews in Germany" held on 20 November 1938, eleven days after Kristallnacht, and a day of mourning for "Victims of Mass Massacres of Jews..." held on 13 December 1942, four days before the first public announcement on the persecution of the Jews by the British Government when Anthony Eden read a declaration to the House of Commons.
