CWN Editor's Note: On the 66th anniversary of the death of Pope Pius XII, Vatican News features a report on that Pontiff’s work to save Jews from the Holocaust.
“About 80% of the Jews in Rome survived the Holocaust due to the Pope’s efforts—more than anywhere else under Nazi occupation,” the Vatican News story begins. The German historian Michael Hesemann says Pius XII “did more to save Jews and to stop the killings than any politician or religious leader of his time.”
