As the story goes, Vespasian claimed the surviving remnant of Jerusalem for himself. Claiming the Roman Emperor Vespasian was cured of a terrible illness by the burial shroud of Jesus, the story asserted Jerusalem’s fall was divine punishment-directed at the Jews-for crucifying Jesus. One should consider an earlier example, “Revenge of the Savior.”(Nirenberg) A Christian medieval tale, the story is a fanciful rendering of the Fall of Jerusalem. The concerns emanating from Judaism are not limited to individuals directly linked to the Shoah. The debate places the cross squarely at the heart of anti-Semitism. He chronicles repeated persecutions-directed at geographically disparate Jewish communities over millennia-all fueled by the accusation the Jews murdered Jesus. Its sponsors were accused of “Christianizing” the Shoah.(Carroll) Furthermore, in Constantine’s Sword, James Carroll insists the cross has been the impetus to Christian animosity towards Jews. This particular religious symbol-as well as its location at Auschwitz-engendered controversy. ![]() In 1979, Pope John Paul II visited Auschwitz and characterized the site as the “Golgotha of the modern world.” (Carroll) As a highly visible Christian leader, his remembrance of the dead-more so his choice of the word “Golgotha”-was emphasized through the erection of a makeshift wooden cross.
