The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Holocaust: Studies in Antisemitism

The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Holocaust: Studies in Antisemitism explores the complex and controversial role of the Romanian Orthodox Church during the Holocaust. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Holocaust, Eastern European history, or religious studies.

The Romanian Orthodox Church was the largest and most influential religious institution in Romania during the Holocaust. It was also a major supporter of the fascist Iron Guard, which played a key role in the Holocaust in Romania. As a result, the Romanian Orthodox Church has been accused of complicity in the Holocaust.

This book examines the evidence for and against these accusations. It explores the role of the Romanian Orthodox Church in the rise of fascism in Romania, the church's response to the Holocaust, and the church's postwar efforts to come to terms with its past.

The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Holocaust: Studies in Antisemitism is a groundbreaking work that sheds new light on a dark chapter in history. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Holocaust, Eastern European history, or religious studies.
