How was the Nazi regime able to carry out the murder of Jews in the heart of Christian Europe, under the eyes of the clergy and 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 conscience.
Beyond the controversies, the recent discoveries related to the opening of the Vatican archives and a renewed historiography offer an opportunity to establish what were the positions of the Christian churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, in the face of the Shoah by placing them in a longer context, from the tradition of Christian anti-Judaism to recent memory.
