Sr. Rose's Passion: Movie review



This short (39 minute) 2004 documentary is about the work of Sr. Rose Thering, a Dominican nun and crusader who devoted herself to fighting anti-Semitism. She addressed anti-Semitic references in Catholic books and having them removed. As the years went on, she served in other capacities, including speaking to interfaith groups. She was Professor Emeritus at Seton Hall before her death in 2006.

This film received an Oscar Nomination for Best Documentary.
