Recenzii

In this deeply researched and cogently written book, the historian Brenda Gaydosh gives us a fuller picture than we have had before of this man of great courage and deep piety, a righteous gentile among the nations in Israel, the martyr Bernhard Lichtenberg.
The English-speaking world has long been deprived of a biography of the courageous Catholic priest, Bernhard Lichtenberg. Now, with Gaydosh's work, anyone with an interest in the Holocaust and the role of leaders in the Catholic Church can read this well-written story of an outspoken critic of the Nazi's anti-Semitic policies. More people should know about the bravery of Lichtenberg and now they will.
Based on comprehensive primary sources, Gaydosh's book constitutes the first scientific biography of Bernhard Lichtenberg in English. It is an important contribution to research on Catholic Resistance in Nazi Germany which cannot bypass this Martyr of Human Rights.
Though there are several earlier biographies of Lichtenberg, Gaydosh's book is the first fulllength biography to appear in decades. . . . it's important to think clearly about the Resistance, and these two fine biographies [also refers to A Life of Resistance: Ada Prospero Marchesini Gobetti by Jomarie Alano] with their nuanced portraits of complex resisters, contribute significantly to that project.
