Although Christianity's precise influence on the Holocaust cannot be determined and the Christian churches did not themselves perpetrate the Final Solution, Michael argues that two millennia of Christian ideas and prejudices and their impact on Christians' behaviour appear to be the major basis of antisemitism and it's apex, the Holocaust.

Reviews for Holy Hatred: Christianity, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust

'A praiseworthy achievement a model of its kind.' Paul R. Bartrop, Honorary Research Fellow, The Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, and Head of History, Bialik College 'Holy Hatred is a masterful, beautifully written study of how Christianity and the churches shaped and sustained a lethal antisemitism for almost two millennia. Future studies of the Holocaust or of antisemitism will have to address Michael's work.' Eunice G. Pollack, University of North Texas 'Following in the footsteps of Poliakov and Flannery, this book offers a powerful description of Christianity's intimate involvement with Judeophobia and anti-Semitism from the gospels forward.' Peter J. Haas, Abba Hillel Silver Professor of Jewish Studies, Chair, Department of Religious Studies, and Director, The Samuel Rosenthal Center for Judaic Studies, Case Western Reserve University 'If anyone still remains ignorant of the Christian origins of anti-Semitism ancient and modern and its contribution to the Holocaust, this book will remedy that bliss: clearly, and in comprehensive detail.' Richard Elliott Sherwin, Professor, Bar-Ilan University
