Andrey (Andrei,Andrew) Sheptytsky
(1865 -1944) He was Archbishop-Metropolitan of Lviv (Head of the Greek Catholic church ) from 1900 to 1944. He strove for greater
understanding and "the movement towards church unity" between the
Christian Churches of East and West. His enormous devotion to his Church has
been recognized world-wide. During Nazi occupation his behavior was
contradictory. He wrote to the Pope and described the atrocities and mass
murder being carried out against the Jews and the local population. He also
protested to Himmler himself. He issued a pastoral letter entitled "Thou Shalt
Not Murder.", in which he publicly threatened "with Divine punishment" any who
"shed innocent blood" to be excluded from the sacraments. At the same time he
is one of several Ukrainian leaders affixing their signatures to a letter they
sent to Hitler, pledging support for the "New Order" in Europe and he blessed
the Waffen-SS Galicia as it sets out to do battle in 1943. But the fact is that
Szeptycki hid 21 jewish children in his own cathedral, and 183 more in convents
and monasteries. "Approximately 500 monks and nuns had knowledge of these
facts, but in spite of the death penalty for sheltering Jews and financial
rewards for all informers, none of the Metropolitan's wards fell into Nazi
hands."
