John Solomon Harris

John Solomon Harris (1866–1945) was an English Jewish Pacifist, whose opposition to World War I and support of Jewish conscientious objectors cost him his job as Hazzan and Secretary of Liverpool's Princes Road Synagogue. Harris later abandoned Pacifism during World War II. He was not charged under the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 although his son Hugh Harris, also a pacifist and conscientious objector, was jailed for refusing conscription.

Harris abandoned Pacifism during World War II, writing that "the cry of the tortured and persecuted victims of the Nazis has been too bitter to deny them what appears to be the only solution of their sufferings and the only alternative to their extermination."
