Eugenio Pacelli, Pius XII, was one of the few unalloyed heroes of
World War II. At great personal risk, he saved some 800,000 Jews
from extermination by the Nazis. Jewish refugees were given asylum
in the Vatican, swelling the number of Swiss Guards. No Allied
leader can match his glorious record. Golda Meir lauded Pius XII
after the war, and the chief rabbi of Rome became a Roman Catholic,
taking the name of Eugenio in tribute to Eugenio Pacelli.
Why then has such a man been vilified and all but accused of
being responsible for the Holocaust? Rolf Hochhuth's infamous play,
The Deputy, marked the turning point. The outrageous distortions of
this play turned the greatest friend the Jewish people had during
World War II into an anti-Semite. This book restores Pius XII to
the rank of hero, demolishes the ludicrous charges against him, and
identifies the true target of this infamous calumny: the Church,
the papacy, and the Christian moral teaching which confronts and
condemns the Culture of Death.
