The Pope's Cabinet: Pius XII's Secret War for Saving Jews

For the first time since World War II, the newly opened archives of the Vatican's Secretariat of State reveal the crucial role Pius XII and the Holy See played in trying to save Jews from capture and death during the war. Drawing from never-before-seen documents--letters, photographs, drawings, and newspaper articles--Johan Ickx answers questions that have swirled for decades, and through key topics and short stories, he discloses what really occurred, which is quite contrary to the dominant narrative.

Although numerous accounts exist on the subject, here you will find the authoritative untold history of the Church's efforts, inspired by Pope Pius XII, to save the innocent.

In these gripping pages, you will learn about Pius XII's:
