Description

Georges Passelecq & Bernard Suchecky (a.); Gary Wills (intro.). In the summer of 1938, Pope Pius XI asked an American Jesuit priest to write an encyclical denouncing Hitler’s racial policies. But in early 1939, weeks after he received the draft, Pius XI died; & his successor, Pius XII, never released the document. Published in its entirety in English for the first time, The Hidden Encyclical of Pius XI raises disturbing questions on the relations between the Vatican, state-sponsored anti-Semitism, & the Jews during World War II. Georges Passelecq, a Benedictine monk, was a member of the Belgian Resistance during World War II. Bernard Suchecky, Ph.D., is co-author of the film “The Revolutionaries of Yiddishland.”
