"Pope Pius XII's Knowledge of Nazi Crimes Exposed in Revealing Letter"

Newly discovered correspondence from the Vatican archives reveals that Pope Pius XII had detailed information about the Nazi extermination of Jews during World War II. The letter, written by a German Jesuit priest, reported that up to 6,000 Jews and Poles were being gassed daily in German-occupied Poland. The documentation challenges the Holy See's claim that it couldn't verify reports of Nazi atrocities. The revelation is expected to reignite the debate about Pius' legacy and his beatification campaign, with supporters arguing he used quiet diplomacy to save Jewish lives and critics accusing him of remaining silent during the Holocaust.

Italian Nazi victims to receive long-awaited compensation after 80 years

Eighty years after the brutal occupation of Italy by Nazi forces, some relatives of Italian victims of war crimes are set to receive compensation of 12 million euros awarded by an Italian court. The compensation is being paid by Italy itself, after losing a battle in the International Court of Justice over whether Germany should be liable for damages. A study estimates that 22,000 Italians were victims of Nazi war crimes, including thousands of Jews deported to death camps. However, victims' groups fear that the 61 million euro fund set up by the Italian government might not be enough to cover all the expected payouts, and the government has the right to review court verdicts before deciding whether to pay out.
