Based on previously unknown materials, this book is “absorbing and excellently translated . . . a valuable contribution to Holocaust scholarship” (Association of Jewish Libraries).

The complicity of the Hungarian Christian church in the mass extermination of Hungarian Jews by the Nazis is a largely forgotten episode in the history of the Holocaust. Using previously unknown correspondence and other primary source materials, Moshe Y. Herczl recreates the church’s actions and its disposition toward Hungarian Jewry. Herczl provides a scathing indictment of the church’s lack of compassion toward—and even active persecution of—Hungary’s Jews during World War II.

“Demonstrates the crucial nexus between the long-held antipathy of the Catholic and Protestant churches in Hungary toward Hungarian Jewry and the deportation of more than 500,000 Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in 1944.” ―Religious Studies Review
