CWN Editor's Note: The historical archive of the Vatican Secretariat of State’s Section for Relations with States and International Organizations has posted online its Serie Ebrei (“Jews Series”): 170 volumes of “petitions for assistance sent by Jews, baptized and unbaptized, from all over Europe to Pope Pius XII after the start of Nazi-Fascist persecution.”

Angelo Dell’Acqua) with handling these petitions in an effort to provide the petitioners with all possible assistance,” according to the Secretariat of State.
