The Catholic Church and Jews Some individual priests and nuns rescued Jews Pope was silent through most of the war –Sign of anti-Semitism? –Afraid Catholics of Europe would face final solution? July 1944, Pope joins King of Sweden and International Red Cross to ask Hungarians to stop transporting Jews to camps

Raoul Wallenberg Swedish diplomat sent to Budapest, Hungary Created false documents and saved thousands of Jews. Was arrested by the Russians and never seen again.

Schultzpass Wallenberg issued this schultzpass (letter of protection) Prevented Jews from being deported to almost certain death

Joop Westerville High School principal who took Jewish children on the underground railroad between Holland and Switzerland Was captured and shot

A Bitter Truth The hard fact is that taken altogether, the rescue efforts of nations, of clergy, or individuals, saved only a few thousand Jewish lives. The Nazis managed to take six million.
