Riga 846:
Un esempio qui: << L'ambasciatore britannico presso la Santa Sede Sir D'Arcy Osborne scrisse, in riferimento allo sterminio degli ebrei: «Sembra che il Santo Padre abbia deciso di adottare la politica dello struzzo verso queste note atrocità. Come conseguenza di questo comportamento esasperante si avverte che la grande autorità morale goduta da Pio XI in tutto il mondo è oggigiorno notevolmente offuscata» (Memorandum 85, 16 giugno 1942, Myron C. Taylor Papers, US National Archives and Records Administration).>> Il testo e' riportato da rivelli. Diciamo che tutte le opinioni di rivelli contano meno di 0 ma questo e' un documento. --[[Utente:Ipvariabile|Ipvariabile]] ([[Discussioni utente:Ipvariabile|msg]]) 09:58, 6 set 2012 (CEST)

===David I. Kertzer===
David I. Kertzer (born 1948) is Paul Dupee, Jr. University Professor of Social Science, Professor of Anthropology (1992– ), Professor of History (1992–2001), and Professor of Italian Studies (2001-) at Brown University. He was Provost of Brown from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2011. In 2005 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the author of numerous books and articles on politics and culture, European social history, anthropological demography, 19th century Italian social history, contemporary Italian society and politics, and the history of Vatican relations with the Jews and the Italian state. His book, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, was a finalist for the National Book Award in Nonfiction in 1997. His 2001 book, The Popes Against the Jews, has been published in nine languages.
Although "the Vatican never approved the extermination of the Jews... the teachings and actions of the Church, including those of the popes themselves, helped make it possible."
It traces the Vatican’s role in the development of modern anti-Semitism from the nineteenth century up to the outbreak of the Second World War. Kertzer shows why all the recent attention given to Pope Pius XII’s failure to publicly protest the slaughter of Europe’s Jews in the war misses a far more important point. What made the Holocaust possible was groundwork laid over a period of decades. In this campaign of demonization of the Jews—identifying them as traitors to their countries, enemies of all that was good, relentlessly pursuing world domination—the Vatican itself played a key role, as is shown here for the first time
