The Vatican's dealings with the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich
have long been swathed in myth and speculation. After almost
seventy years, the crucial records for the years leading up to 1939
were finally opened to the public, revealing the bitter conflicts
that raged behind the walls of the Holy See. Anti-Semites and
philo-Semites, adroit diplomats and dogmatic fundamentalists,
influential bishops and powerful cardinals argued passionately over
the best way to contend with the intellectual and political
currents of the modern age: liberalism, communism, fascism, and
National Socialism. Hubert Wolf explains why a philo-Semitic
association was dissolved even as anti-Semitism was condemned, how
the Vatican concluded a concordat with the Third Reich in 1933, why
Hitler's Mein Kampf was never proscribed by the Church, and what
factors surrounded the Pope's silence on the persecution of the
Jews. In rich detail, Wolf presents astonishing findings from the
recently opened Vatican archives-discoveries that clarify the
relations between National Socialism and the Vatican. He
illuminates the thinking of the popes, cardinals, and bishops who
saw themselves in a historic struggle against evil. Never have the
inner workings of the Vatican-its most important decisions and
actions-been portrayed so fully and vividly.
