Revelations from the Vatican Archives: Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust

In this video, we discuss recently uncovered documents that shed light on Pope Pius XII's knowledge of Nazi atrocities during World War II. These documents challenge the Vatican's previous stance and reignite the debate over the Pope's actions during the Holocaust. One key document is a letter from a trusted Jesuit, Father Koenig, informing the Pope about mass murders in Poland. This revelation is significant as it occurred during a period when millions of Jews had already been killed. We'll explore the implications of these findings and their impact on Pope Pius XII's legacy in an upcoming conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Stay tuned for more on this historical debate.
