**Pierre Chaillet** (1900–1972) was a French Catholic priest of the [Society of Jesus](/source/Society_of_Jesus) (Jesuits), who was recognised as [Righteous among the Nations](/source/Righteous_among_the_Nations) by [Yad Vashem](/source/Yad_Vashem) for his work to protect Jews from the [Nazi Holocaust](/source/Nazi_Holocaust).[1][2][3]

The *Amitiés Chrétiennes* organisation operated out of Lyon to secure hiding places for Jewish children. Among its members was the Jesuit Pierre Chaillet.[2] The influential French theologian [Henri de Lubac](/source/Henri_de_Lubac) SJ was active in the [resistance](/source/French_Resistance) to Nazism and antisemitism. He assisted in the publication of *Témoinage chrétien* with Pierre Chaillet, responding to Neo-paganism and antisemitism with clarity, describing the notion of an Aryan New Testament standing in contradiction to a Semitic Old Testament as "blasphemy" and "stupidity".[4]
