Description
Argues that to discuss Vatican policy during the Holocaust, in terms of its "silence" is misleading and wrong-headed. Calls for a more balanced approach to understanding the role of Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church by examining the role of the Church on a regional basis and the actions of Church representatives on an individual basis
