Abstract:
After enumerating accusations made against Pope Pius XII and his policies during the Holocaust, counters them by pointing to the Pope's allusions to racial persecution in his addresses; his intervention against deportations from satellite states; and directions he may have given orally to Church institutions to hide Jews. Notes the Pope's dilemma of having to make a choice between protecting threatened Catholics and Catholic interests and protesting against Nazi Jewish policy, protests that were seen as hopeless in any case and that might even have caused further harm.
