Good and Evil After Auschwitz: Ethical Implications for Today

In 25 papers from a 1998 symposium at the Vatican, European and North American theologians and religious thinkers from Jewish and Protestant as well as Catholic traditions grapple with the inescapable moral question of whether, and if so how, believers can reconcile their faith in a just and merciful God with the mass murder of millions of innocents during the Holocaust. Also included are an interview with Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and excerpts from the writings of Moshe Flinker, Etty Hillesum, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
