Six Million Crucifixions differs in two very important ways: first, it provides a summary of the history of antisemitism with an emphasis on the genesis and evolution of the Christian aspects of this hatred and, second, it makes a legal case in which I suggest the people responsible for crimes should have been brought to a trial, and go into a legal analysis of why this would be the case including a discussion of the specific counts of the potential indictment. Other books don’t do these things and focus on just the Catholic Church over the Nazi period, or the theological aspect, or Vatican assistance to war criminals, or just the role of the churches during the war. Six Million Crucifixions is a good, short way to learn about all these things in one place.
