Book Description
This is a true story of discovery and adventure - set in the midst of the most notorious evil of the 20th century. The plot begins with a random find of a photograph in the Harvard library - a Catholic Bishop blessing a swastika flag in Buenos Aires in 1934. The story uncovers the roots of the Nazis' Jewish-Communist conspiracy propaganda, its role in the Holocaust, and much more. The authors ultimately address the question: Why would a Catholic Bishop do this, and why would the Vatican approve? This is a fast-moving account, 147 pages in the paperback version. The eBook has links to original documents in English translation, and further links to the originals in German, Italian, Spanish, French and English. Both the paperbook and the eBook contain excerpts of key documents in an appendix, presented in a Timeline of Events and Documents. Two days after the launch of the paperback first edition at the Yale Bookstore in New Haven, CT, USA, the authors received an email from a fellow Catholic, a member of the Yale class of 1964, saying: "My sincere and hardy congratulations to you, Steve and Diane, for this mammoth output of beautifully sensitive consciences. Breathtaking in courage, perseverance, insight, honesty and profound integrity." Readers will be able to draw their own conclusions from the evidence. No one's views of the Third Reich, the Holocaust, and the Vatican will remain unchanged.

Book Description
The author of the work derives the origins of what we know as a swastika symbol from the earliest cultures. He studies its origins in the ancient shapes of a cross and brings the comparison of different types of cross symbols, which later evolved in the swastika. Further, the author examines the role of the swastika in the extreme Orient (Japan, Korea, China, and Tibet), the classical Orient (Babylonia, Assyria, Chaldea, and Persia, Phenicia, Lycaonia, Armenia, Caucasus, and Asia Minor - including Troy and mentioning Schliemann), Africa (Egypt, Algeria, Ashantee), classical Occident (Mediterranean - Greece, Cyprus, Rhodes, Milos, and Thera), Europe (the Bronze Age, the Gallo-Roman period, the Anglo-Saxon period, and the swastika on ancient coins), the United States of America (in pre-Columbian times, among the North American Indians, and a "colonial patchwork"), Central America (Nicaragua, Yucatan, and Costa Rica), and South America (Brazil and Paraguay). He shows various artifacts associated with the swastika, including spindle-whorls, coins, vases, and idols. The author also notes the importance of this symbol among both the ancient Buddhists and Hindus. It is generally a very deep and interesting study showing the universalism of the swastika symbol in different cultures of the world.

Book Description
Was Jesus a Nazi? During the Third Reich, German Protestant theologians, motivated by racism and tapping into traditional Christian anti-Semitism, redefined Jesus as an Aryan and Christianity as a religion at war with Judaism. In 1939, these theologians established the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life. In The Aryan Jesus, Susannah Heschel shows that during the Third Reich, the Institute became the most important propaganda organ of German Protestantism, exerting a widespread influence and producing a nazified Christianity that placed anti-Semitism at its theological center. Based on years of archival research, The Aryan Jesus examines the membership and activities of this controversial theological organization. With headquarters in Eisenach, the Institute sponsored propaganda conferences throughout the Nazi Reich and published books defaming Judaism, including a dejudaized version of the New Testament and a catechism proclaiming Jesus as the savior of the Aryans. Institute members--professors of theology, bishops, and pastors--viewed their efforts as a vital support for Hitler's war against the Jews. Heschel looks in particular at Walter Grundmann, the Institute's director and a professor of the New Testament at the University of Jena. Grundmann and his colleagues formed a community of like-minded Nazi Christians who remained active and continued to support each other in Germany's postwar years. The Aryan Jesus raises vital questions about Christianity's recent past and the ambivalent place of Judaism in Christian thought.

Book Description
Who could have guessed that Lucius Altreis, in his personal vendetta against the pope, would enlist neo-Nazis searching for $3 billion of Heinrich Himmler’s gold submerged in an Austrian lake ? Who could have imagined his crusade would lead him to kidnap top airline executives gathered in Cannes, France ? Is hostility between two of these world-leading execs on the verge of sparking catastrophe ? Altreis capitalizes on the rivalries and decadence of airline leaders to level an unprecedented threat against the Holy City. As an air transportation insider, author Jean-Louis Baroux pulls back the curtain on industry policy-making and internal debate. He vividly depicts the agonizing terror of major airline CEOs trapped on a plane headed straight for the dome of Saint Peter’s. From the ruins of Berlin to Vatican treasures, with stops in Patagonia and Cannes’ luxury hotels, this unrelenting thriller is a high-stakes game dealing in power and money.

Book Description
Despite the enormous amount of material about Nazism, there has been no substantial work on its emblem, the swastika. This original contribution examines the popular appeal of the archaic image of the swastika: the tradition of the symbol.
