 General Description:

Margherita Marchione

Pope Pius XII continues to be the target of attacks by writers critical of his supposed failure to intervene decisively on behalf of the Jews during the time of the Nazi Holocaust. In this volume, Margherita Marchione sets the record straight. Backed by impressive research, Marchione surveys the role of the austere but politically savvy Pontiff during World War II. She reveals his passionate work for peace, his concern for prisoners of war and the support provided to them by the Vatican, and, finally, his denunciation of crimes against minorities and his particular care for Jews in wartime Rome. Marchione's book providesa spirited defense of Pius XII against critics such as Rolf Hochhuth and John Cornwell. Any future assessment of the role of the Catholic Church during the Second World War will have to consider the evidence put forward so tellingly by this book.

Margherita Marchione is professor emerita of Italian language and literature at Fairleigh Dickinson University and is the author of more than thirty books, including Yours Is a Precious Witness, a memoir of Jews and Catholics in Italy during World War II. Sister MArgherita is a member of the Religious Teachers Filippini and lives in Morristown, New Jersey.
