The Pope's Jews: The Vatican's Secret Plan to Save Jews from the Nazis

This revelatory account of how the Vatican saved thousands of Jews during WWII shows why history must exonerate “Hitler’s Pope”.

“Many may find fault with the pope's decision to “keep silent” and not single out by name the Nazis or their crimes; however, Thomas is convincing in his revelations about the pope's secret work and relays how complex and sensitive these issues were for everyone involved at the time. Any World War II history buff or Holocaust researcher will find this book an important balance to existing historical scholarship.” —Library Journal

Accused of being "silent" during the Holocaust, Pope Pius XII and the Vatican of World War II are now exonerated in Gordon Thomas's newest investigative work, The Pope's Jews. Thomas's careful research into new, first-hand accounts reveal an underground network of priests, nuns and citizens that risked their lives daily to protect Roman Jews.

Investigating assassination plots, conspiracies, and secret conversions, Thomas unveils faked documentation, quarantines, and more extraordinary actions taken by Catholics and the Vatican. The Pope's Jews finally answers the great moral question of the War: Why did Pope Pius XII refuse to condemn the genocide of Europe's Jews?

“A riveting account of an immensely important but often misunderstood slice of history.” ―Ronald J. Rychlak, author of Hitler, the War, and the Pope and Righteous Gentiles
