Synopsis
Margherita Marchione Yours Is a Precious Witness contains information about the Holocaust and the relationship between Jews and Catholics in wartime Italy. This outstanding work encourages readers to look beyond the superficial treatment afforded to Pope Pius XII and the misrepresentations that have circulated in the past. Noted scholar Margherita Marchione traces both documentary and anecdotal evidence of the Pope's efforts. Her record of these oral histories - portraits of people performing extraordinary acts - presents a more accurate picture of the Pope than any backward-looking interpretation.
