Cardinal Aloisius Muench and the Guilt Question in Germany
Focusing on Cardinal Aloisius Muench's influence between 1946 and 1959, this book delves into his significant role in shaping Catholic responses to the Holocaust and Jewish communities. Through meticulous research of Muench's papers, the author reveals his troubling views on Jews and how his authority hindered the Church's acknowledgment of its complicity in Nazism. Muench's perspectives legitimized a lack of self-examination among German Catholics regarding their moral responsibilities during this dark period, making this work a crucial contribution to Holocaust and church history scholarship.

Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum The International Tracing Service, one of the largest Holocaust-related archival repositories in the world, holds millions of documents that enrich our understanding of the many forms of persecution during the Nazi era and its continued repercussions ever since. Drawing on a selection of recently available documents from the archive, this essential resource provides new insights into human decision-making in genocidal settings, the factors that drive it, and its far-reaching consequences. The sources that the author has collected and contextualized here reflect the full range of behaviors and roles that victims, their oppressors, beneficiaries, and postwar aid organizations played beginning in 1933, through World War II, the Holocaust, and up to the present.
