Six Million Crucifixions: How Christian Antisemitism Paved the Road to the Holocaust examines the root causes of antisemitism in Christianity and how that prepared the soil for the modern/racial antisemitism that culminated in the Holocaust. The book briefly covers the last two thousand years of history, from the origins of antisemitism all the way to the advent of modern antisemitism. The book also covers the role of the Churches during the Third Reich, and the role of the Vatican in setting up escape routes for wanted war criminals after WWII. At the end the book makes the point that back in 1945-6 the Allies should have set up a third international trial and put any and all clergymen who may have had a role in the defamation of and incitement against the Jewish people, as well as those who helped wanted Nazis escape Justice (and a number of other charges), on the dock.
