"In 1930, about 750,000 Jews called Romania home. At the end of World War II, approximately
half of them survived. Only recently, after the fall of Communism, have details of
the history of the Holocaust in Romania come to light. Ion Popa explores this history
by scrutinizing the role of the Romanian Orthodox Church from 1938 to the present
day. Popa unveils and questions whitewashing myths that concealed the Church's role
in supporting official antisemitic policies of the Romanian government. He analyzes
the Church's relationship with the Jewish community in Romania and Judaism in general,
as well as with the state of Israel, and discusses the extent to which the Church
recognizes its part in the persecution and destruction of Romanian Jews. Popa's highly
original analysis illuminates how the Church responded to accusations regarding its
involvement in the Holocaust, the part it played in buttressing the wall of Holocaust
denial, and how Holocaust memory has been shaped in Romania today"--Page 4 of cover
