The convent at Auschwitz

Describes, in detail, the affair of the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz. Discusses all the points of controversy, consecutive events, meetings, the Geneva agreements, and reactions of various Jewish and Catholic circles. Quotes the most important opinions which appeared in the press (Jewish and non-Jewish, American, Polish, and West European). Analyzing this affair, finds that one of its causes is a total lack of understanding of Jewish matters on the part of the Poles. Deals, as well, with various approaches to the problem by Pope John Paul II and liberal Catholics who oppose Cardinal Glemp's "hard" line.
