PINE HILLS

Beginning with the
Christian Scriptures, he
cites Paul, the Gospels, Acts
and Revelations and the
Church Fathers of the Pat-
ristic Period as the distor-
ters of Jewish ethics and
history into "a diabolic
myth, transforming
spiritual strengths into
crimes against God and
man."

Dr. Michael says: "Tal-
mud, Torah, synagogue,
peoplehood, religious mis-
sion, and the one spiritual
God — the very heart and
soul of Judaism — where
thrown back into the faces
of Jews. This fictitious,
-transvalued Judaism was
then used to justify anti-
Jewish Church laws and
Church-inspired secular
laws, policies and actions."
This continued in the Mid-
dle Ages with its fatal toll of
hundreds of thousands of
Jews.

"Because of Martin
Luther's hate-filled libels
this mythological image of
the Jews remained un-
changed by the Protestant
Reformation. This mythol-
ogy remained as the basis
for the Nazi onslaught."
Hitler referred in conversa-
tions admiringly to
Aquinas' and Luther's
brands of anti-Semitism. In
1-938, he said to Hans
Frank, "In the Gospels the
Jews called out ... 'His
blood be upon us, and our
children's children!' Per-
haps I have to fulfill this
curse."

Concerning the Goldbbrg
Commission's Report on the
ineffectiveness of American
Jewish efforts to save
Jewish lives, Prof. Michael
commented that "the power
of theological myth also
helps explain the mixture of
indifference and hostility
that was the predominant
Allied reaction to the Nazi
murder of the Jews."

New York — An
authority on early Chris-
tianity, Prof. Robert
Michael of Southeastern
Massachusetts University,
traces the genesis of viru-
lent anti-Semitism and the
"Final Solution" of the
Holocaust to the founding
Church Fathers.

Prof. Michaels concludes
with a note of hope tem-
pered by warning: "Perhaps
the future holds hope for
better relations between
Christians and Jews. There
are thousands of ecumenists
working toward this goal.
But the world's passionate
antagonism toward Israel
makes one wonder how
much of it is simply dis-
placed mythological anti-
Semitism."
