"In Our Time," that is, within the last fifty years, the world has witnessed the greatest improvements in Catholic-Jewish relations since the death of Jesus of Nazareth. Many courageous people contributed to this improvement. Catholics and Jews have embarked on a historic engagement with one another.

But one event, one stroke of a pen, on October 28, 1965, made all of this possible. This modest book tells this momentous tale....
