## Resource

Aired: 1942 (Treasury Star Parade) This episode of Treasury Star Parade presents “The Bishop of Münster,” a powerful Easter-season dramatization performed by Henry Hull and adapted from a work by H. S. Kraft. Set in a German cathedral during the rise of Nazi rule, the story centers on a bishop who faces mounting pressure from authorities to remain silent in the face of injustice. As the congregation gathers for Easter services, the bishop delivers a message that departs from tradition—one shaped by conscience, faith, and the realities unfolding beyond the church walls. What follows is a moment of moral reckoning, where spiritual conviction collides with political power. Produced during World War II as part of a series supporting the war effort, Treasury Star Parade combined drama and music to reflect the stakes of the time. This episode stands as a striking example of how radio storytelling was used to explore themes of courage, resistance, and the role of faith in times of crisis.
