James Bernauer, SJ, is professor emeritus in the Department of Philosophy and former director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College. He is the author, editor, and co-editor of a number of books, including "The Tragic Couple": Encounters Between Jews and Jesuits.

"Jesuit Kaddish is an incisive and lucid work of 'memory activism' examining the Holocaust and the Jesuits. . . . This is not simply a book about Jesuits and Jews. Rather, it is permeated with Jesuit sensibilities and spirituality—and a summons to the Society of Jesus to formulate a statement of repentance." —Theological Studies"[This] is a powerful book that brings together a number of significant themes—some in novel ways—and reflects the state of the field as well as an enviable scholarly career that has deepened our understanding of Jesuit history, anti-Semitism, and Jewish-Christian relations in modern history." —Journal of Jesuit Studies"This book is a uniquely forceful attempt by a scholar belonging to the Jesuit order to reflect upon the anti-Jewish past of his own institution. It is a must-read for everyone interested in the relations between the Roman Catholic Church and Judaism." —David Lebovitch Dahl, University of Copenhagen"A thorough, honest, and thought-provoking endeavor to come to terms with the Jesuit Order's centuries-long hostility toward Jews. This is an important addition to the fields of Catholic-Jewish history, Catholicism and Nazism, and anti-Semitism in Europe." —Lauren Faulkner Rossi, author of Wehrmacht Priests"A timely and welcome contribution to the study of Catholic-Jewish relations during and following the Holocaust. . . . offers much upon which to reflect." —Holocaust and Genocide Studies
