POPE PIUS XII AND THE
HOLOCAUST
A HAND OF PEACE
Pope Pius
XII guided the Catholic Church through two tumultuous
decades, firmly establishing himself as a champion of peace, and the
moral voice of a world torn apart by war. However, shortly after his
death in 1958, his heroic legacy has been called into question by some
historians who claim that his alleged “silence” during the Nazi
holocaust allowed Hitler to carry out his Final Solution against the
Jews. Pope Pius XII protested vehemently the persecution of Jews. His
was a prophecy in action, which saved the lives of countless victims of
the neo-pagan Nazi reign of terror, rather than potentially
counter-productive public statements.
A Hand of Peace:
Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust is an important
contribution to the robust and timely debate that has arisen
surrounding Pius’s wartime record. Featuring interviews with world
renowned Holocaust historian Sir Martin Gilbert; the Jesuit historian
and postulator Fr. Peter Gumpel; author and ardent Pius defender Sr.
Margherita Marchione, M.P.F., Ph.D., this gripping documentary explores
the difficult choices Pius XII faced during the Second World War, and
provides convincing proof that his bold, yet discreet, prophetic
actions saved tens of thousands of Jewish lives and paved the way for a
new era of Catholic-Jewish relations that have deepened over the past
50 years. Movie is shown in color.
