- Abstract
The article examines the reconciliation process between a Carmelite convent in a building of the former concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland and the global Jewish community. The history of the foundation of the nunnery to pray for the victims of the Holocaust including Jews as well as Gentiles is discussed, the allegedly unfinished nature of the resolution of Jewish-Christian conflict is described, and the symbolic invasion by Christians of the site of the murder of millions of people is criticized.
