Holocaust Scholars Write to the Vatican

Holocaust Scholars Write to the Vatican Synopsis

If you had a chance to speak to the Pope, what would you say? This is the question that 13 noted Holocaust scholars—Christians of various denominations and Jews (including some Holocaust survivors)—address in this volume. The Holocaust was a Christian as well as a Jewish tragedy; nonetheless, the Roman Catholic hierarchy has offered very little official discourse on the Church's role in it. These essays provide solid constructive criticism and make a major contribution to both Holocaust and Christian studies.
