History Vs. Apologetics - The Holocaust, the Third Reich, and the Catholic Church

Informationen zum Autor David Cymet earned his PhD at the University of Delaware and has taught at the National University of Mexico and the National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico. Klappentext Set within the context of the political and ideological developments of the time, History vs. Apologetics examines the role played by the Catholic Church in the rise and consolidation of the Third Reich and in particular with regard to the Nazi persecution of the Jews. David Cymet's comprehensive critical analysis of the polemical literature on the topic makes it possible to separate legitimate history from apologetic allegations and misrepresentations, bringing to light key elements of Church policy intentionally misinterpreted by apologists. By surveying the Church's policy from prior to the rise of Nazism to the present, Cymet demonstrates how the Nazis were able to turn the Catholic Church into their ally in their war against the Jews.
