Holy Silence

In "Holy Silence," the Vatican's role in World War II is laid bare through the lens of two Popes, Pius XI and Pius XII, whose faith and the Church were tested by the rising tide of fascism and anti-Semitism in 1930s Europe. As death intervenes, a stark contrast emerges between these leaders' responses to Hitler and the Holocaust. With its focus on the complex moral landscape of this pivotal moment, "Holy Silence" brings to light a crucial chapter in the history of the Catholic Church during World War II.
