No “Doubt” about the Holocaust

Francis X. Rocca

The culture page of tomorrow’s edition of the official Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano obliquely addresses the themes of this week’s two big Vatican stories: sex abuse and Holocaust denial.

A laudatory review of Doubt, about a priest accused of child molestation, says the movie shows that “reaching the truth is unfortunately a difficult result to achieve on such thorny questions.”

Right underneath, a review of a new book by historian David Bidussa focuses on the coming challenge of remembering the Nazi genocide once the last eyewitnesses are dead.
