Inventing the Holocaust: A Christian's Retrospect

Franklin H. Littell

Temple University Philadelphia Pennsylvania

Certain churchmen have given significant leadership in Holocaust studies. This is in part in reaction to the failure of Christendom during the Naziassault on the Jews. That failure was in part a result of centuries of preaching and teaching in which the christian establishment denied the right of the jewish people to continue to exist. Denial of the complicity of some churchmen and the general failure of Christendom takes many forms among gentiles and is sometimes abetted by Jewish sectarian tendencies to treat the shoah as a "Jewish affair." Intellectually responsible Holocaust study and education is interfaith, international, and inter-discipllnary.
