The Pope and the Holocaust

Few accusations could be more serious: Pope Pius XII allegedly remained silent when he learned of Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe. He even stood idly by as Roman Jews were deported to death camps practically under his window. But this version, also known as the "black legend," is false. The evidence that it was completely different lay locked away in the Vatican's secret archives for half a century. In 2018, the many hundreds of thousands of files will finally be made available for research. Dr. h. c. Michael Hesemann was one of the first historians to gain access to the most explosive documents of the 20th century. As part of his comprehensive re-examination of this most dramatic chapter in recent church history, they are published in this volume as a world exclusive.
