The Catholic Church and in particular, Pope Pius XII, have faced intense scrutiny for their actions, and inaction during the Holocaust. With the opening of the Vatican Archives, new information continues to be uncovered of the role the Catholic Church played in protecting Christians, rescuing Jews, and appeasing the Nazis during the Second World War. Using the famous Christmas Message of 1942 by Pope Pius XII as a guide, join Jesse Tannetta, Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy, to examine the role of the Church during the Holocaust to empower students to reflect on the connection between faith, morals, and action.
