Shadow on the Cross

• 1990 ----- color ----- 52 min ----- vhs
• Looks at the tragic story of Christian-Jewish relations, as seen by Christians, across 2,000 years and reports a modern revolution in Christian attitudes. Filmed on location in the UK, Israel, Germany and the United States with the cooperation of leading church figures and scholars of various denominations, the production plots the story of Christian anti-Semitism, the ambivalent role of the Church during the Nazi period and the tentative path towards reconciliation between Jews and Christians in the post war era. It challenges the church to re-examine Christian-Jewish relationships and to acknowledge responsibility for two thousand years of anti-Semitic teaching and preaching.
• Topics: (Discrimination, Europe, History: European, Jewish Studies, Religions: Christian)
