Rome, Italy, Mar 8, 2010 / 07:02 pm (CNA).- In comments to the newspaper, “Le Point,” Jewish historian Saul Friedländer defended Pius XII against accusations that he was “Hitler’s Pope.” Friedländer recalled that Pope Pacelli’s aversion to Nazism was made known by his collaboration in the writing of Pius XI’s encyclical, “Mit brennender Sorge.”

Friedländer previously taught contemporary history at the University Institute of Higher International Studies in Geneva and also worked at universities in Los Angeles and Tel Aviv. He is the author of such books as, “Hitler and the United States,” “Pius XII and the Third Reich,” and “Reflections on the Future of Israel.”
