The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis

In Rabbi David G. Dalin's controversial new book, he explodes the newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of Pope Pius XII, whom Jewish survivors of the Holocaust considered a righteous gentile.

David G. Dalin, an American rabbi and historian, is the author, co-author, or editor of twelve books on American Jewish history and politics, and Jewish-Christian relations. He has taught Jewish Studies at several universities, has been a visiting professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and George Washington University, and has been the Taube Research Fellow in American History at Stanford University. During the 2002-2003 academic year, Dalin was a visiting fellow at the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. Dalin's numerous articles and book reviews have appeared in American Jewish History, Commentary, First Things, The Weekly Standard, and the American Jewish Year Book. He has served as a member of the Editorial and Advisory Board of the journal First Things, of the Editorial Board of the journal Conservative Judaism, and a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the American Jewish Historical Society. Dalin's book Religion and State in the American Jewish Experience (co-authored with Professor Jonathan D. Sarna of Brandeis University), published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 1997, was selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book of 1998. Dalin received a B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, an M.A. and Ph.D. from Brandeis University, and a second M.A. and rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
