The article discusses the controversy surrounding Pope Pius XII's actions during World War II and his relationship with the Jews. Historians have long sought access to the Vatican archives to uncover the truth about his role in rescuing Jews from the Nazis. In 2020, the archives were finally opened, and Dr. David Kertzer used the information he found to write a book called "The Pope at War." The book reveals damning evidence that suggests Pope Pius XII was indifferent to the fate of the Jews and did not take action to save them. Abe Foxman, a retired head of the Anti-Defamation League, joins Dr. Kertzer to discuss the book's findings. The article highlights the personal connections both men have to the topic, with Dr. Kertzer's father being a rabbi and Mr. Foxman being a Holocaust survivor. Mr. Foxman emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the truth about Pope Pius XII's actions and preventing his beatification. The article concludes by promoting an upcoming event where Dr. Kertzer and Mr. Foxman will discuss the book at Temple B'nai Abraham in Livingston. [Extracted from the article] |
