Catholic Holocaust theology?

[StudentMI]

Are there any books any one can recommend that are focused on theology in the aftermath of the Holocaust, from a Catholic perspective?

You’re referring to the Jewish Holocaust of the 20th Century? I’m not aware that Catholic theology changed with that. However I think WWII did lead to a crisis of faith for many people in Europe.

This wouldn’t be end-times “theology” of the State of Israel and Zionism, would it? That’s more of a Protestant thing, if I understand it correctly.

Here’s a wikipedia article for what it’s worth.

Got it. I don’t know of any books on that, but I’ll look into it and I hope someone here has a better answer.

As a starting point, I would suggest:
