The Vatican and the Holocaust

"This volume deals with the attitude and reactions of the Vatican and the Christian churches to the persecution and destruction of the Jews of Europe during the Nazi era. The linkage between the long history of Christian anti-Judaism and the racial neo-pagan anti-Semitism of the Nazis constitutes one of the most controversial chapters in the history of the Holocaust. It became a hotly debated ecclesiastical - historical issue after the end of World War II, inducing the Vatican and the Catholic episcopates in many parts of the world to begin confronting it honestly and courageously."--BOOK JACKET.
