The files on the papacy of Pius XII, which had until now been kept locked in the Secret Archives of the Holy See.<\/p>\n<p>Eugenio Maria Pacelli \u2013 Pope Pius XII \u2013 was elected to St. Peter\u00b4s throne in 1939, few months before the outbreak of the Second World War. In the following years, while millions of Jews were deported by the Nazi and exterminated in the camps, Pius XII remained silent. He never pronounced a word of compassion for the suffering of the Jewish people, nor he publicly protested with Hitler.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, the name of Pius XII has remained subject of heated discussions among historians and between Catholics and Jews. For some, Pacelli was Hitler\u00b4s pope, the man who ignored the persecution of the Jews and signed the Concordat with Hitler\u2019s government. Others consider Pius XII a witty diplomat and even a Saint, who acted in secret to save thousands of lives.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary \u201cThe Pope and Hitler\u201d investigates the many mysteries surrounding Pius XII. Why did he remain silent on the holocaust? What did he do during the raid of the Roman Jews in 1943? More shockingly, did Pius XII know that, some war criminals like Eichmann used Vatican documents to flee to Latin America?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1591353356656{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Press<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juedische-allgemeine.de\/kultur\/hat-pius-getan-was-er-tun-konnte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><u>&#8220;Did Pius do all that he could?<\/u>&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em> J\u00fcdische Allgemeine<\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<strong>Distribution<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bettina Offermann<br \/>\nChristine Baron <u><\/u><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:distribution@looks.film\"><u>distribution@looks.film<\/u><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Executive Producer<\/strong><br \/>\nGunnar Dedio<\/p>\n<p><strong>A co-production by<\/strong><br \/>\nLOOKSfilm, BR, MDR, ORF<\/p>\n<p><strong>In association with<\/strong><br \/>\nHISTOIRE TV<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors &amp; Directors<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\">Lucio <\/span>Mollica, <span class=\"dtable--txt\">Luigi Maria Perotti<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative Producer<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"dtable--txt\">Lucio <\/span>Mollica<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34544,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,203,196],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Pope and Hitler - LOOKSfilm<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The documentary \u201cThe Pope and Hitler\u201d investigates the many mysteries surrounding Pius XII.
