zenit: Holocaust survivors will visit Benedict to thank Catholic Church for saving their lives during the Holocaust
Holocaust Survivors to Thank Pope
Foundation Events Aim to Shine Light on Historical Facts
NEW YORK, JUNE 9, 2008 (Zenit.org).- A New York-based organization will bring a group of Jewish Holocaust survivors to visit Benedict XVI next week. They want to personally thank the Pope for the Church’s intervention in saving their lives during the war.
The Pave the Way foundation is bringing the group to visit the German Pontiff on June 18. It is just one initiative the foundation has undertaken to clear up misunderstandings about the Church and its role during the Holocaust.
Another initiative is a September symposium on the papacy of Pope Pius XII.
