Could Pope Pius XII have done everything that he could to protect the Jews? ... It is said that Pius XII was silent, if not condescending, on the question of Nazi anti-Semitism. A document was discovered in Israel that not only confirms Pius’s role in defense of persecuted Jews, but reveals that world leaders of the Jewish communities at the time were very aware of his actions, to the point that after the war they came to Rome and gave the Catholic Church a very generous donation. Pius decided that the sum should go completely to needy persons of Jewish origin. ...
Leaders of the Jewish communities in Hungary, Turkey, Italy, Romania and the United States thanked the Pope for saving hundreds of thousands of Jews. Those who said that there was something shameful going on, that Pius was silent in the face of the Holocaust, that he did little to help the Jews and that he was in fact a pro-German if not pro-Nazi, underneath it all he was anti-Semite are all horrible slander that now seem to pass for accepted wisdom.
