Timeline
Dirk Verhofstadt (born 25 August 1955 in Dendermonde) is a Belgian social liberal (Rawlsian) theorist and younger brother of former Belgian Prime Minister and former ALDE European Parliament Leader Guy Verhofstadt.
He graduated in law and press- and communication sciences, and obtained a PhD in moral philosophy at the University of Ghent.
On 26 September 2008, he released his new book Pius XII and the extermination of the Jews in the Dutch language.
In this book, he examines the position of Pacelli, the later Pius XII, towards Adolf Hitler’s seizure of power, the downfall of the Catholic Zentrumspartei, the Reichskonkordat between Nazi-Germany and the Vatican, the encyclical Mit brennender Sorge (With Burning Concern), paganism, the Nazist education programs, the ‘T4-program’ (the murder of physically and mentally handicapped persons), the invasion of Poland, Operation Barbarossa, the Jews in the Netherlands, priest-president Jozef Tiso of Slovakia, the Ustasha in Independent State of Croatia, the deportation of Jews from Rome, the Hungarian Holocaust, the help offered to war criminals, the resistance against Nazism, the alleged refusal of the Church to "give back Jewish" children who had been in hiding, the failures of the Allies, alleged antisemitism after the Holocaust, and the moral question of alleged guilt of the Church and the pope.
On 1 July 2010 he obtained the degree of Doctor of Moral Science at the University of Ghent with his doctoral dissertation "Pius XII and the extermination of the Jews. A moral and historical research into the moral responsibility of Pope Pius XII regarding the Final Solution to the Jewish Question."
He is a member of Liberales, an independent think tank within the liberal movement.
Its members consider liberalism as a progressive movement supporting individual freedom, justice and human rights.
Liberales reacts against what it calls "narrow minded conservatism" related to social economic, ecological and ethical issues supported by "compartmentalized" parties and structures.
With his book Het menselijk liberalisme (Human Liberalism), he inspires politicians in Belgian liberal parties as well as in the Dutch parties Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie and Democraten 66.
He defends liberalism against attacks by anti-globalists, by stating that liberalism implies/should imply solidarity and that green politics is not contradictory to liberalism.
He wrote the books Pleidooi voor het individualisme (A Plea for Individualism) and De derde feministische golf (The Third Feminist Wave), much of it focusing on Islamic feminism and its impact in Europe.
In November 2019 he published the book ''Ide Leib Kartuz.
Tailor in Auschwitz'' with David Van Turnhout as co-author.
In July 2022 the English version A Tailor in Auschwitz was published by Pen & Sword Books.
In 2021 he published the book Chef in IG-Auschwitz with Anne Van Paemel as co-author.
In 2022 he wrote the book Diary 1933 about the danger of the extreme right emerging worldwide.
He was professor Media and ethics at the University of Ghent until 2020.
