Vatican diplomacy and the Jews during the Holocaust 1939-1943

A scholarly history of one of the most controversial topics relating to the Holocaust. Investigates the Vatican's role during the war, focusing on the Holy See's diplomatic representatives in Germany and other countries, and on the direction charted for the Papacy by its Secretariat of State, headed by Luigi Cardinal Maglione, who can be presumed to have implemented policies emanating directly from Pope Pius XII.
