What were the attitudes of the Vatican and local Roman Catholic churchmen to the Ustasha murders of Jews in Croatia in World War II? The author ascribes to the Vatican a policy of "behind the scenes" pro-Jewish activity, and to local churchmen an ambivalent role: the leadership opposed in principle to the murder of Jews, the priesthood actually participating. The overriding consideration, for the Church, was fear of Russian Bolshevism.
