JEWISH NEWSLETTER
OCTOBER 20, 1958
It is understandable why the
death of Pius XII should have
called forth expressions of sin
cere grief from practically all
sections of American Jewry. For
there probably was not a single
ruler of our generation who did
more to help the Jews in their
hour of greatest tragedy, during
the Nazi occupation of Europe,
than the late Pope. It is approp
riate on this occasion to men
tion a few specific facts, con
firmed by history, about the
rescue of thousands of Jewish
Nazi victims by the Vatican
which was one of the greatest
manifestations of humanitarian-
ism in the twentieth century, as
well as a new and effective
method of fighting antisemitism.
I. During the last critical
years of the war, when the Ger
mans occupied Italy, the
grounds of the Vatican as well
as the churches in Rome under
its jurisdiction, considered neu
tral territory by international
law, were thrown open to the
Jews by order of the Pope as
a sanctuary. Any Jew from any
country who could manage to
reach the Vatican was admitted
without questions and thereby
removed from Nazi jurisdiction.
II. The same method of pro
tecting Jews through the inter
nationally recognized neutrality
of the Vatican was used by the
Papal Nuncios in other coun
tries who freely issued “protec
tive passports” to Jews threat
ened by the Nazi, thus placing
them under the jurisdiction of
the Vatican.
III. Catholic monasteries and
converts in France, Belgium,
Italy and other countries of Eu
rope, opened their doors to Jew
ish victims of Nazism and they
became well known as hiding
places for entire Jewish fam
ilies, particularly for children.
This was a fundamental policy
of Pope Pius in the beginning
of the war which he maintained
throughout the Nazi occupation
of Europe in the face of great
difficulties and danger.
IV. Thousands of Jewish ref
ugees in danger of Nazi deporta
tion were smuggled out from
Nazi occupied countries by an
underground movement organ
ized for that purpose by mem
bers of the Catholic clergy with
the knowledge and authority of
the Vatican. (See “Magnificent
Episode,” p. 3).
V. The courageous Encycli
cals, Pastoral Letters and ser
mons issued by the Pope himself
and by many archbishops and
bishops throughout Europe de
nouncing the inhumanity of spe
cific acts of Nazi persecution of
the Jews were the only rays of
light in the long dark night of
Nazism and they provided the
hope and comfort which the
Jews needed as much as the
physical aid in the time of their
greatest anguish.
FROM PREACHING
TO PRACTICING
All these acts, which were
gratefully acknowledged by the
Jewish communities of Rome
and other cities, point to one
highly significant conclusion
which has not yet been suffi
ciently implanted in the minds
of many people, Jews and non-
J e w s alike. This is that the
movement by Christians of all
demoninations to save the Jews
from Nazi extermination, which
sprang up spontaneously in all
countries of Europe during the
height of the Nazi persecution
and in which the Vatican play
ed so important a role, was not
only a manifestation of humani-
tarism in any age when evil
reached the height of its power.
It was also a positive attack on
antisemitism which was bound
to have tremendous effects on
Christianity itself and on the
relations between Christians
and Jews. It has already mark
edly reduced religious anti
semitism in the West and is
bound to do so still more in the
future.
For the first time in the long
feud between Christianity and
Judaism, a crisis occurred which
revealed that the war which
they had carried on for nearly
nineteen centuries had outlived
its time and that the battle has
shifted to other fields and
other forces. Organized and in
stitutionalized Christianity rea
lized that the old religious bit
terness and hatred between
Christians and Jews no longer
had meaning or reason and that 1
the failure to remove it in time f
had almost brought Judeo-
Christian civilization to its end.
It is to the credit of Pope Pius
XII that he, a great leader of or
ganized Christianity, not only
recognized this truth in time,
but also that he visualized a
positive method of acting upon
it in a grand manner: Instead of
preaching Christianity, as the
Christian Churches had done for
centuries, he and the churches
practiced its principles and set
an example by their acts and
lives, as did the Founder of
Christianity. This was the
uniqueness of the contribution
of Pope Pius XII to the strug
gle against antisemitism.
