| Summary: | In this scholarly work based on Muench's papers and letters, Suzanne Brown-Fleming has helped reveal the post–World War II Catholic response to antisemitism and Nazism in Europe and the United States. Catholics only slowly came to terms with Nazism and the Holocaust—the theme of this study of Aloisius Muench, who acted as a liaison between German Catholics and the government of the United States. Muench also represented Pius XII, who failed adequately to respond to the antisemitic and war crimes issues of the era. Germans had to confront the brutalities inflicted by the Nazis in Europe and also had to heal their own compliant consciences. |
