Una nuova indagine intorno al ruolo della Chiesa cattolica durante la deportazione e il massacro degli ebrei da parte dei nazisti nella seconda guerra mondiale. (fonte: Google Books)

Slightly mad attempt to blame the holocaust on the Catholic Church OR a valuable investigation of the broad consent required for true evil to take place.

I have yet to decide which. It is important not to blame Hitler for all the evils of the first half of the century. It is tempting to create some sort of evil monster, who bent an unwilling Europe to his wicked will. Harder to stomach is the reality that for evil to triumph millions of good men had to do nothing, or actively take part. Hitler was not a monster, he was another man just like me or you, and many more men, and women, just like us, gave their consent to his programme. ( )

Explores the tensions inherent in a faith based on I am ok, you are not ok to use a TA term and one that does not face the historical fallout of the destructions of the temple on the direction of the early Christians and the breaks with Judaic traditions this entails as well as the rivalry of spreading within the roman empire. Also raises the uncomfortable fact that the Nazis views of Jews and of eugenics were more mainstream then we in the post war era like to think. See the moral panic of Imperial Britain as the 1890’s education acts brought to official attention the children with leaning difficulties resulting in the 1913 asylum act and compulsory sterilization. “Simple” women having “bastards” were being compulsory incarcerated as late as 1959 under these Acts ( )
