When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Secret Archives, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. In 2020, the archives were finally opened. Based on thousands of never-before-seen documents, David Kertzer’s “The Pope at War” paints a dramatic portrait of what the Pope did and did not do as war enveloped the continent and as the Nazis began their systematic mass murder of Europe’s Jews. Kertzer is the Brown University Dupee University Professor of Social Science, Emeritus, and Research Professor at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown. His publications include the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe” (2014); “The Popes against the Jews” (2001); and “The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara” (1998).
