Name:	Catholic Church and the Holocaust, 1930-1965
Product Code:	0253214718
Description:	By Michael Phayer
Product Detail:	The Catholic Church’s official silence during the Holocaust, its anti-Semitism, and its apparent lack of action to save lives – the record is damming. But was Pius XII “Hitler’s Pope”? In Phayer’s view, casting the spotlight relentlessly on Pius XII has skewed the question surrounding Catholicism and the Holocaust. Making extensive use of church documents, Phayer explores the actions of the Church and the actions of individual Catholics during the crucial period from the emergence of Hitler until the Church’s official rejection of anti-Semitism in 1965. Phayer’s research provides a sober record of what the Church did or did not do during Hitler’s years in power. Importantly, however, his account also tracks the evolution of official Catholic thinking during the rebuilding of Germany, the Cold War, and the gradual theological reforms that led to Vatican II.
