Description
The Vatican's Archives and the Third Reich by Hubert Wolf reveals the long-hidden records that shed new light on the Holy See's dealings with Nazi Germany. For nearly seventy years, these documents were shrouded in secrecy, but their release has finally allowed historians to uncover the bitter conflicts that raged behind the walls of the Vatican. Wolf presents a detailed analysis of the Vatican's complex relationships with liberalism, communism, fascism, and National Socialism, as well as its responses to the persecution of Jews. By examining the archives, he sheds new light on the thinking of the popes, cardinals, and bishops who navigated this treacherous landscape. This book offers a rich and nuanced portrayal of the Vatican's inner workings during one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history, providing a fresh perspective on the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that shaped the Church's response to the rise of Nazism.
