Interesting topic, but not really about a "Plot"--was interesting about the dilemma faced by Pius XII regarding whether or not to speak out about Hitler's genocide of the Jews. Shows the complexity of the situation. Writing style was very difficult to read--almost gave up reading several times. Story was not told linearly, and timing appeared to not even be important to Kruzman. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In September 1943, Adolf Hitler, furious at the ouster of Mussolini, sent German troops into Rome and ordered SS General Karl Wolff, who had been Heinrich Himmler's chief aide, to occupy the Vatican and kidnap (and perhaps kill) Pope Pius XII. At the same time, plans were being made to deport Rome's Jews to Auschwitz. Wolff began playing a dangerous game: stalling Hitler's plot against the pope, whom he hoped would save him from the noose in case Germany lost the war. To save Pius, Wolff and fellow conspirators blackmailed him into silence when the Jews were rounded up, hoping that Hitler would rescind his order. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Dissappointing. Wasn't really about a "plot", but rather the broader context of the Vatican and the Pope in the context of if they should or shouldn't speak out about the holocaust. ( )
