VATICAN INSIDER: ROME DOCUMENTS SHOW HOW CATHOLIC CONVENTS HID JEWS IN ROME IN WWII
My guest this week is the interview segment of “Vatican Insider” is Jesuit Fr. Dominik Markl of the Pontifical Biblical Institute at Rome’s Gregorian University, He’s also Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies at Innsbruck University, Austria. We met to talk about some astonishing documentation rediscovered in the archives of the Biblical Institute, documentation that basically consists of lists of refugees given shelter from the Nazi persecution by Catholic Institutions in Rome. Our focus was the collaboration over the years between Catholic and Jewish institutions in this research. So stay tuned for that conversation after the News and a Q&A!
My other guest was to have been Iael Nidam-Orvieto, Director of the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem but she was unable to come to Rome for the conference on these new documents after the October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel.
