FAITHFUL, G., Mothering the Fatherland. A Protestant Sisterhood Repents for the Holocaust. Oxford University Press, 2014. 304p. Hardback. A significant study of an unconventional group of women. In 1947, in war-torn Germany, these Protestants took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience to do penance for Christian anti-Judaism and lived in strict monastic discipline to atone for German guilt for the Holocaust. Faithful's sympathetic analysis of Basilea Schlink's vision and community provides a startling counterpoint to prevailing narratives of post-war Germany's inability to mourn, repent, or admit the Holocaust.
