Why Did the Vatican Honor the Swastika?: A Catholic Couple's Five-year Search for Understanding (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Why Did the Vatican Honor the Swastika?: A Catholic Couple's Five-year Search for Understanding (en Inglés)"
This is a true story of discovery and adventure - set in the midst of the most notorious evil of the 20th century. The plot begins with a random find of a photograph in the Harvard library - a Catholic Bishop blessing a swastika flag in Buenos Aires in 1934. The story uncovers the roots of the Nazis' Jewish-Communist conspiracy propaganda, its role in the Holocaust, and much more. The authors ultimately address the question: Why would a Catholic Bishop do this, and why would the Vatican approve? This is a fast-moving account, 147 pages in the paperback version. The eBook has links to original documents in English translation, and further links to the originals in German, Italian, Spanish, French and English. Both the paperbook and the eBook contain excerpts of key documents in an appendix, presented in a Timeline of Events and Documents. Two days after the launch of the paperback first edition at the Yale Bookstore in New Haven, CT, USA, the authors received an email from a fellow Catholic, a member of the Yale class of 1964, saying: "My sincere and hardy congratulations to you, Steve and Diane, for this mammoth output of beautifully sensitive consciences. Breathtaking in courage, perseverance, insight, honesty and profound integrity." Readers will be able to draw their own conclusions from the evidence. No one's views of the Third Reich, the Holocaust, and the Vatican will remain unchanged.
