And Its Unfulfilled Duty Of Repair.
From the internationally renowned author of the bestselling 'Hitler's Willing Executioners' - 'A Moral Reckoning' is a penetrating moral inquiry into the Catholic Church's role in the Holocaust that goes beyond anything previously written on the subject.
Daniel Jonah Goldhagen cuts through the historical and moral fog to lay out the full extent of the Catholic Church's involvement in the Holocaust, transforming a narrow discussion fixated on Pope Pius XII into the long overdue investigation of the Church throughout Europe.
He shows that the Church and the Pope's complicity in the persecution of the Jews was much deeper than has been understood. The Church's leaders were fully aware of the persecutions. They did not speak out and urge resistance. Instead, they supported many aspects of the persecution. Some clergy even took part in the mass murder.
Brilliantly researched and reasoned, 'A Moral Reckoning' is a ground-breaking book of profound, and potentially explosive, importance.
