Pilgrim to Unholy Places
Through visiting Auschwitz and other horror sites of the Third Reich, the author reflects on the meaning of belief and ethics in today’s world in dialogue with Jewish thinkers. His standpoint is the victim Christ of Philippians 2:5–11, a Jewish victim among others and therefore one open to mutual recognition, each hearing the cries of the other.
