Exhibition "To the grace of God",
the Churches and the Shoahexhibition

How was the Nazi regime able to implement the murder of Jews in the heart of Christian Europe, under the eyes of the clergy and the faithful? Between prejudice, diplomacy, mutual aid and resistance, why did men and women of the Church protest, act, when others remained silent? For eighty years, these questions have continued to question the European consciousness.

Beyond the polemics, the recent discoveries related to the opening of the Vatican archives and a renewed historiography, offer the opportunity to establish what were the positions of the Christian Churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, in the face of the Shoah by resituating them in a longer context, from the tradition of Christian anti-Judaism to recent memory.
