Riassunto:

Drawing on preciously hidden Vatican sources and archival materials, a provovative historical study traces the evolution of anti-Semitism in the Catholic Church from the French Revolution to World War II and assesses the Church's role in promoting and deseminating a centuries-long demonization of the Jews throughout Europe that led to the Holocaust. 50,000 first printing.
