Klymentiy Sheptytsky (Ukrainian: Климентій Шептицький; 17 November 1869 – 1 May 1951) In 1941 the persecution of Christians was interrupted with the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war and the German occupation of Ukraine, however the situation did not improve much. During that time Sheptytsky helped his brother Andrey Sheptytsky rescue Jews, harboring them in Studite monasteries and organizing groups that would aid them in escaping to Hungarian controlled Governorate of Subcarpathia.
