Course Title

THE HOLOCAUST AND THE CHRISTIAN WORLD

Course Description

"The Holocaust & the Christian World" will examine the historical, social, political, and cultural roots of the Holocaust. We shall do so by exploring what Christians did and failed to do during the Holocaust, particularly in terms of the accusations made about the apathy and indifference of so many in Nazi occupied Europe toward the persecution and murder of the Jewish people. We shall examine some of the controversies and myths linked to Pope Pius XII, the Vatican and the Catholic Church before, during, and after WW II and the Holocaust.
