Description
On March 2, 1939, Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected pope under the name Pius XII. He had a superhuman task: to lead the church through the terrible years of World War II. After its end, he was celebrated as the savior of Rome, with politicians and prominent Jewish figures praising his actions. Soon, this perspective changed radically. Accusations fell that he had remained silent. In certain circles, he became nearly an ally of the Germans. What is the truth? This is what the author Johan Ickx, who has spent over ten years working in the archives of the Holy See, tries to show you. He uncovers a sophisticated espionage network of the Vatican, headed by Pope Pius XII, which rescued thousands of people from the clutches of the Nazis.
