The Continuing Agony: From The Carmelite Convent To The Crosses At Auschwitz

Jews and Roman Catholics from the US and Poland contribute to the informed and honest dialogue they believe is essential to effect even a partial mending of relations between Christians and Jews after Auschwitz, the largest killing center established by the Nazis. They approach the differing memories of the two groups from the perspective first of political, then of psychological and theological dynamics.
