Description

"It is well known that the French Catholic Church, which opposed Hitler before 1940, silenced itself during the German Occupation. But Aliza Luft shows that the Church was more than silent: it was complicit. Behind closed doors, bishops repeatedly assured Jewish leaders of the Church's support-only to betray their trust amid the Nazi threat."-- Provided by publisher.
