The Myth of Hitler's Pope

by David C. Dalin

Books like John Cornwell's Hitler's Pope and Garry Wills's Papal Sin (and others) have become New York Times bestsellers by arguing that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust by failing to do enough to save the Jews from Nazi extermination. But in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Othodox Jewish Rabbi David Dalin explodes this newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of a pope who was, in fact, to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, "a righteous gentile."

"A courageous, impassioned, and desperately needed book that restores essential balance to the ongoing discussion of one of the most reviled figures in recent religious history." -- MICHAEL MEDVED, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and bestselling author

"This is a stunning book. I wish I had known more of this material years ago." -- MICHAEL NOVAK, George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion and Public Policy, American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research

"Rabbi David Dalin's powerfully written defense of Pope Pius XII taught me much that I did not know, and deserves close reading. People of all faiths need to ponder the implications of Dalin's devastating conclusion: that while the Catholic pontiff was saving Jewish lives, the grand Arab mufti of Jerusalem was openly supporting Hitler's Final Solution." -- JONATHAN D. SARNA, Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History, Brandeis University, and author of American Judaism: A History

"David Dalin's search for the truth about Pope Pius XII led him to the discovery that the tragedy of the Jewish people has been shamelessly exploited by foes of traditional religion. With righteous indignation, Dalin sets the record straight, documenting the dishonesty of Pius's leading attackers and demonstrating that the wartime pope was a friend and protector of the Jewish people in their time of greatest need." -- MARY ANN GLENDON, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University

"A fascinating study. Bound to be controversial. But more important than that, it will be genuinely thought-provoking." -- WILLIAM KRISTOL, editor,

I believe the good Rabbi needs to read the works of Avro Manhatan, Alberto Rivera, Edmond Paris, Dave Hunt,Charles Chiniqy and Jack Chick. Maybe he'll change his mind about the murderous habits of this "great" Pope and all other Popes. I hope the Rabbi will take the time to read these books.
