Her most recent publication, "Confronting Antisemitism: Rabbi Philip Sidney Bernstein and the Roman Catholic Hierarchy," is one of a dozen essays that grew out of the 2004 CAHS Summer Research Workshop on "The Holocaust and Antisemitism in Christian Europe."

Dr. Brown-Fleming's current research project, "The Vatican-German Relationship Re-Examined, 1922-1939," is a study of the Vatican nunciature in Munich and Berlin during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) and the period of Eugenio Pacelli's tenure as Secretary of State (1930-1939). Her study is based on the Vatican Secret Archive materials opened to researchers in Rome in February 2003. Currently, the Museum holds the only microfilm copy of these records worldwide.
