Pope says Vatican helped Jews during HolocaustSome members of the Jewish community boycotted the visit
Pope Benedict XVI has defended the Vatican against accusations of indifference towards the Nazis’ annihilation of Europe’s Jews in WWII.
On a landmark visit to Rome’s main synagogue, the Pope said the Vatican helped Jews and “provided assistance, often in a hidden and discreet way”.
The pontiff responded after an Italian Jewish leader spoke of the painful “silence” of wartime Pope Pius XII.
It comes amid Jewish anger at Benedict’s moves to beatify Pius.
