''A Moral Reckoning'', by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, who also authored ''Hitler's Willing Executioners'', is a 2003 American non-fiction book examining the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the Holocaust. More fully titled ''A Moral Reckoning: The Role of the Catholic Church in the Holocaust and Its Unfulfilled Duty of Repair'', the book offers a review of scholarship in English addressing what Goldhagen argues is antisemitism throughout the history of the Church, which the book claims contributed substantially to the persecution of the Jews during World War II. The book recommends several significant steps which might be taken by the Church to make reparation for its alleged role. ''A Moral Reckoning'' received mixed reviews and was the subject of considerable controversy regarding allegations of inaccuracies and anti-Catholic bias.〔 Accessed January 5, 2008.〕〔For further examples, see Critical reception.〕 ==Background== Goldhagen, the son of a Holocaust survivor, first engaged in serious academic discourse concerning the Holocaust following a lecture he attended as a student of Harvard University in 1983.〔Smith, Dinitia. (April 1, 1996). (Challenging a view of the Holocaust ). ''The New York Times''. Accessed January 4, 2008.〕 He gained prominence in the field with the publication of 1996's ''Hitler's Willing Executioners'', which met acclaim and controversy, particularly in Germany.〔Landler, Mark. (November 14, 2002) (Holocaust writer in storm over role of Catholic Church ) ''The New York Times''. Accessed January 4, 2008.〕 The ''Journal for German and International Politics'' awarded him the Democracy Prize in 1997. In awarding the prize for the first time since 1990, the Journal wrote "Because of the penetrating quality and the moral power of his presentation, Daniel Goldhagen has greatly stirred the consciousness of the German public."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Goldhagen Wins German Prize For Holocaust Book )〕 Invited by ''The New Republic'' to review several books concerning Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust.〔Gritz, Jennie Rothenberg.
