Jesuit Kaddish
«
“Jesuit Kaddish is an incisive and lucid work of ‘memory activism’ examining the Holocaust and the Jesuits. . . . This is not simply a book about Jesuits and Jews. Rather, it is permeated with Jesuit sensibilities and spirituality—and a summons to the Society of Jesus to formulate a statement of repentance.” —Theological Studies

While much has been written about the Catholic Church and the Holocaust, little has been published about the hostile role of priests, in particular Jesuits, toward Jews and Judaism. Jesuit Kaddish is a long overdue study that examines Jesuit hostility toward Judaism before the Shoah and the development of a new understanding of the Catholic Church's relation to Judaism that culminated with Vatican II's landmark decree Nostra aetate.

This is an important addition to the fields of Catholic-Jewish history, Catholicism and Nazism, and anti-Semitism in Europe." —Lauren Faulkner Rossi, author of Wehrmacht Priests

"This book is a uniquely forceful attempt by a scholar belonging to the Jesuit order to reflect upon the anti-Jewish past of his own institution.
