Die Kirche und der Holocaust

The Holocaust: What Was Not Said - ein Artikel von Martin Rhonheimer im aktuellen First Things.

"Christians and Jews belong together. They are both part of the one, though still divided, Israel. This is why Pope John Paul II has called Jews, in exemplary fashion, our 'elder brothers.' Brotherhood includes, however, the ability to speak openly about past failures and shortcomings. This is true, of course, for both sides. But in view of all that Christians have done to Jews in history, it is Christians who should take the lead in the purification of memory and conscience."
