This presentation was so interesting. So well researched. Finn Ballard always does a fabulous presentation.
This the 2nd time I have listened to this lecture. This time Dr. Ballard added valuable new research from the Vatican Secret Archives along with discussion about the continued controversy surrounding the degree of resistance or collaboration on the part of the Vatican.
An excellent presentation. Dr. Ballard presented very compelling information in this lecture - he is so welcoming and engaging - I will definitely look into more lectures presented by him!
Excellent!
This professor talked about aspects of the Catholic Church and the third reich that I had never heard before, particularly those instances where the church did enable some catholic Jews to emigrate.
