The focus of this article is on the actions of Reverend Frits Slomp, vicar of the Reformed Church in Heemse, during the economic depression of the 1930s, and his response to the rise of national socialism as a new political movement. During the depression many labourers in Heemse and Hardenberg lost their jobs. Reverend Slomp put a great deal of personal effort into helping these men and into trying to solve their social-economic problems. When in 1933 the National Socialist German Workers’ Party ( NSDAP ) came into power in Germany and the National Socialist Party ( NSB ) was gaining ground in the Netherlands, Reverend Slomp warned about the dangers of National Socialism.
