Abstract:
Discusses the background of the lack of Dutch Catholics' resistance against the deportation of the Jews during World War II. Examines issues of this magazine in order to discern antisemitic opinions of the Dutch Catholic population. Between 1867-1933 the magazine published several stories which focus on the Jews' refusal to accept Jesus as the Messiah, and on the murder of Christ by Jews. Before the turn of the century, two articles were published describing Jews of Amsterdam and Polish Jews as filthy and inferior. During the Nazi period, the magazine focused frequently on the Jews, sharpening the arguments of theological antisemitism and adding cultural-psychological stereotypes. In the early 1950s, a Dominican attacked the State of Israel and denied its right to exist. At the end of the 1950s, the magazine published items on the Holocaust and dealt very guardedly with the attitudes of the Pope during the war. In the 1960s, the theological antisemitism gradually disappeared from this journal.
