VENUE: Curé of Ars Roman Catholic Church, 2323 Merrick Road, Merrick NY.
October 16, will be the 80th anniversary of the arrest of the 1023 Roman Jews by the Nazi invaders. The defamation of Pope Pius XII results around the perceived silence of the Pope on that day.
Gary Krupp, President and founder of Pave the Way Foundation will be moderating a special panel discussion.
Pave the Way is bringing
- Dr Johan Ickx, Archivist of the Vatican Secretary of State and author of “The Pope’s Cabinet”
- Princess Giorgia Pacelli, grandniece of Pius XII (with access to the private family archives) and
- William Doino Jr, the lead contributor to the acclaimed anthology, “The Pius War: Responses to the Critics of Pius XII”.
We are revealing the discovered primary documents of how Pius XII ended the arrest of the Jews 2PM that day and then proceeded to hide 10,000 Jews throughout Rome, Italy and Europe.
