 General Description:

Margherita Marchione

Sr. Margherita's quest for historical accuracy culminates with Crusade of Charity, which effectively establishes the importance of Pope Pius XII's role during World War II.  This book clarifies the role of Pius XII in the 20th century.  During the war years, throughout Europe, scattered families were dying of hunger and disease.  Desperate refugees crossed the continent drenched in blood.  According to the author, with Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939, every possible spiritual and material help was offered by Pope Pius XII to bring relief to war victims with needed funds, medicine, or shelter.

Letters were often the only route to aid for the forlorn.  Here in this collection, translated for the first time, we find evidence for Pius XII's concern for all victims of Nazi terror.  Whoever reads these pages cannot fail to be affected by this pope's crusade of charity for the personal tragedies inflicted on both combatants and civilian.  Among her sources from the Vatican Secret Archives are letters, telegrams, and reports of the apostolic delegates who visited prisoner camps around the world.
