Abstract:
Contends that the involvement of mons. Gennaro Verolino and mons. Angelo Rotta and other diplomats in Hungary in issuing 25,000 [sic!] certificates of protection for Hungarian Jews under the Nazi occupation was done with the consent of Pope Pius XII. The Pope appealed to Horthy in June 1944to stop the deportations of the Jews, which were temporarily suspended. In the meantime, the two clergymen worked to issue the certificates and to create places of reception for the Jews who would survive. States that the Vatican preferred diplomatic intervention instead of a public statement of protest against the systematic extermination. Concludes that the rescue of the 120,000 Hungarian Jews was in part a consequence of the "humanitarian diplomacy" pursued by the Vatican.
