Chilling expose of Anti-semitism in the Church

Half a century after the Holocaust, surely it is time for those of us who are Christian to face, acknowledge, and examine the truly horrifying streams of anti-semitism that have been part of even "main stream" Christianity for so long. This is a virtually untold history that will shock almost all readers who think of themselves as Chritians, and it should. It is probably the least well known aspect of the Third Reich, and raises very sensitive issues about Christian theologies (and theologians) which have been unable or unwilling to learn from this history. From the startling photograph on the cover, to the last page, this book is a powerful wake-up call!
