Description: This work "focuses on the Holocaust, on Nazi Germany's effort to annihilate the Jews of Europe. It also focuses on Jews and Judaism and on Nostra Aeta, the 1965 document issued by the Roman Catholic Church at the end of Vatican II."--Page 2, introduction. "Nostra Aetate signaled the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church's modern dialogue with Jews and Judaism, as well as decades of soul-searching to understand how and why Christian Europe largely stood by while six million Jews were systematically slaughtered in Nazi occupied Europe."--Back cover.
Notes: Each essay includes questions for discussion, video and film resources, and readings for further study.
