Sociologist Luft provides a sober, well-documented portrayal of the Catholic Church’s ultimate failure to avoid mass executions of French Jews. Her history, beginning in 1933 and continuing through the closing months of the World War II, chronicles a number of personalities whose actions and inactions shaped the fate of France’s Jewish population. Luft is always quick to note the brave acts of individual Catholics who risked their lives and livelihoods to save others and to defy German influence
