Pius XII And The Holocaust

March 20, 2006 (Press Release) -- Though a series of essays and articles, the editor and eight contributors critique the works of revisionists who allege that Pius XII was sympathetic to the Nazis or remained passive during the Holocaust. The essays discuss the roots of these views in the relentless Nazi and communist propaganda of the era, and the debate's revival in the 1960's. The authors present vital evidence that is often dismissed or ignorned by the revisionists many of whom have their own agendas. By brigning intellectual rigor and responsibility to the issue, this work makes a solid contribution to the history of hte papacy and to the biography of Pius XII.
