Pius XII Helped Jews During WWII
Vatican Radio said Wednesday that a 1943 document found in a Rome convent bolsters church contentions that Pope Pius XII tried to save Jews from Nazis during World War II ... The Vatican insists that the late pope used quiet diplomacy to help Jews. Vatican Radio reported the discovery of a note, kept in a cloistered monastery near the Colosseum, which lists the names of 24 people who were taken in by the nuns at the behest of Pius.
