THE VATICAN'S failure to produce hard evidence that Pius did anything to help,
however, should not detract from the heroism of many individual nuns, priests
and other Catholics who risked their own lives to rescue thousands of Jews. If
anything, their behavior demonstrates how much the Vatican could have done.
The continued refusal to open archives lends credence to charges against the
pope and undermines the credibility of the Church.
Researchers also believe documents hidden deep in the Vatican can shed
light on information found in the US National Archives indicating the pro-Nazi
Croatian Ustasche delivered large quantities of gold to the Vatican in
exchange for help in the escape of high-ranking Nazis. Other material
discovered at the US archives indicate assets looted by the Nazis and their
allies from the Jews and others may have wound up in Vatican vaults, or at
least evidence of where they went. US government pleas to open the Vatican
archives on that subject have been rebuffed.
