Were Germany’s wartime opponents and enemies capable of knowing about the alleged Holocaust when it evolved? And if so, is there any proof that they did know? How did the Vatican, the International Red Cross, the governments of the U.S., of Britain and of Soviet Russia react, and what does that tell us about what they knew – or thought they knew? Questions such as these are addressed in the papers listed in this section.

Jews are prominent in the present highly visible culture-war assault on the Catholic Church in America, from the quite recent vilification of Pope Pius XII for “not doing enough” to help Jews in World War II to the entertainment industry’s open bias against the Catholic Church and all it stands for. Many Catholics try to…

Pope John Paul II is scheduled to visit Israel next week and give an address at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem (March 23). There is great tension over this encounter for the following reasons. During World War II the Vatican, with its far flung connections, especially in Poland, was in a position to…

Mass-murder denials: On at least one occasion, Germany publicly denied any intention to murder concentration camp inmates. An October 12 1944 letter talks of Germany's “press denial” of rumored intentions to murder Birkenau inmates. This letter has never been released to the public by the U.S. government. It is almost certain that in 1943, and…

The following are what I consider some important points in the behavior of the wartime Pope Pius XII in relation to the Nazi persecutions of the Jews. The rough situation is that, while the Vatican aided Jews, especially Italian Jews, Pius XII was relatively silent about “extermination”. My explanation for this silence needs no lengthy…

When I was writing The Hoax of the Twentieth Century I encountered an extraordinary source, viz. the multi-volume collection of documents and commentary Actes et documents du Saint Siège relatifs à la seconde guerre mondiale (Acts and documents of the Holy See relative to the Second World War). The series, whose principal editor was Robert…

The main reasons for a focus on Vatican behavior during the “Holocaust” are, first, that the major events are supposed to have taken place in Poland, a Catholic country and, second, that the Vatican had a ubiquitous diplomatic corps to keep it well informed. It is true that the Germans imposed a censorship on communications…

Two books are very good in exploring the failure of the Allies to act as though there was an “extermination” going on. They are Martin Gilbert's Auschwitz and the Allies and Walter Laqueur's The Terrible Secret. The latter is especially interesting because Laqueur in effect proves that it could not have been a “secret” if…

As most long time list members are aware, we from time to time examine questions relating to World War II. Were the Allies the right side, the wrong side, or was there a correct side (“God's side”) in the war. We know that Pius XII specifically rejected the Allied contention that their war against Hitler…

That the Jewish leaders outside Europe, who were publicly speaking of “extermination”, were in contact with the Jews in occupied Europe but failed to inform them of “extermination” can be easily inferred from Yehuda Bauer's American Jewry and the Holocaust. Many more examples of this failure can be cited. A good recent one is the…
