"Pius XII himself condemned Nazism and the deportation and murder of Jews, but preferred to act diplomatically and with discretion. From 1939 onward, the Vatican regularly sent financial and logistical assistance to help Jews flee France," summarized the scholar, a former staff member of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

He added that during World War II, one in five diocesan priests was murdered, and nearly 50 per cent of priests were eliminated from pastoral work. Despite this, priests were involved in helping the Jewish population, risking death for doing so. "The book, in a nutshell, examines and uncovers the extent of the rescue of Jews by the Polish Catholic clergy. Its core is an episodic narrative based on the testimonies of Jewish survivors and the Poles who saved them, supplemented by the Church sources," said author Ryszard Tyndorf.
