Christian Internationalism and German Belonging: The Salvation Army from Imperial Germany to Nazism

Speaker: Dr. Rebecca Carter-Chand

Date: Monday, September 28

Time: 7 p.m.

Venue: Sobey Building | Scotiabank Theatre | SMU | 923 Robie Street 

Drawing on her award-winning book of the same title, winner of the George L. Mosse First Book Prize, Dr. Carter-Chand examines how the Salvation Army navigated the passage from Wilhelmine imperialism through the Third Reich—and what its trajectory reveals about religion, transnational identity, and the moral compromises of a catastrophic era.

Dr. Carter-Chand is the director of the Programs on Religion and the Holocaust, which fosters scholarship, teaching, and reflection on the intersections between religion and the Holocaust. Her research focuses on Christian minority groups in Nazi Germany, including the Salvation Army, Quakers, Seventh-Day Adventists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
