In 'A Moral Reckoning', Daniel Jonah Goldhagen examines the Catholic Church's involvement in the Holocaust, transforming the debate about Pius XII into an investigation of the Church in Europe. He argues that the complicity of the Church and the Pope was deeper than previously believed, with church leaders aware of the persecutions, supporting many aspects of them, and even participating in mass murders. Goldhagen develops a precise way to assess the Church's culpability and highlights its duty of repair, analyzing its tactics of evasion and delineating what it must do to repair the damage caused to the Jews and heal itself.
Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is an American author, and former associate professor of government and social studies at Harvard University.
