Description
Examines the ambivalent and still controversial role of Andrei Sheptyts'kyi (1864-1944), head of the Greek Catholic Church in Galicia, during the Nazi occupation of the Ukraine in World War II. The difficulties of forming a definitive judgment are compounded by the tension between Sheptyts'kyi's Christian compassion on the one hand and his Ukrainian nationalsim on the other. The author leaves the question open.
