Correspondence. A letter to Zahn regarding GERMAN CATHOLICS AND HITLER'S WAR. ~ O'Meara feels that to determine if WWII was a just war is a difficult task, but the mass murder of the Jews was unquestionably wrong. This wrong was only publicly denounced once by the German clergy and that was by Fr. Bernard Lichtenberg who was jailed and upon release sent to Dachau, but died en route.
