After beginning with the problem of the inability of German postwar generations to relate to the Holocaust, focuses on ways German Christian women can learn to acknowledge German women's share of responsibility for Nazi crimes against the Jews, i.e. women's role as part of the perpetrator nation. Explores ways German women have been encouraged to try to integrate knowledge of this past into their identity formation and internalize post-Holocaust theology into their own views and lives. Notes ways that Holocaust studies and women's studies can combine to move German Christian women from complacency and individualism to involvement in "tikkun olam" that includes existential encounters with members of the victim nation.

Many argue that Christians must address their own culpability in the destruction of Europe's Jewry. If post-Holocaust Christians only lament Christianity's sin the tradition will be ultimately left with little to say and no credibility. Post-Holocaust Christians must emphasize positive differences that Christianity can make, including: -- Repentant honesty about Christianity's anti-Jewish history -- New appreciation for the Jewish origins of Christianity, the Jewish identity of Jesus, and the continuing vitality of the Jewish people and their traditions -- Welcome liberation from liturgies and biblical interpretations that promote harmful Christian exclusivism
