Book
offers evidence that Pius XII saved Jews; documentary in planning stage
The book
Gordon Thomas’s The
Pope’s Jews--forthcoming in England and released recently in the US--offers
new evidence that Venerable Pius XII sought to save Jews from the Holocaust.
Gordon Thomas “has
tracked down family members, original documentation, and established what
really was a universal perception prior to the 1960s,” says Ronald Rychlak, who
has written extensively on the topic. “He’s shown what the people at the
time--victims, rescuers and villains--all knew: that Pius XII was a great
supporter of the victims of the Holocaust.”
The Guardian--without mentioning names at “the Vatican”--reports that the Vatican is
so excited by The Pope's Jews that it is supporting a feature
documentary film being planned by a British producer who has bought the rights
to it.
Allen Jewhurst, who
has produced documentaries for BBC TV's Panorama, said that …
after a meeting with two cardinals at the Vatican, he and Thomas now hope to
get exclusive access to the archives. "This will, hopefully, be a
definitive film," said Jewhurst.
“The Vatican people
said, 'How wonderful, the truth out at last,'” said Thomas.
