Catholic Teaching on the Shoah (2001)

Catholic on the Teaching Shoah: Implementing the Holy See’s We Remember

The following reflections are intended to help Catholic schools on all levels, including seminaries and universities, to implement the mandate of the Holy See’s 1998 statement We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah. These reflections do not in themselves form a curriculum but rather are designed to help Catholic educators begin developing curricula and other educational programs on the Holocaust.

The process used to develop this document may in itself serve as a model for local diocesan and Catholic schools seeking to implement the Holy See’s charge to grapple with the implications of the Shoah for the Church itself. In early 1999 the Bishops’ Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations (BCEIA) joined with the American Jewish Committee and the Archdiocese of Baltimore to cosponsor a dialogue of leading Catholic and Jewish educators.
