Wednesday, June 09, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Vatican releasing files on prisoners in WWII By The Associated Press
For years, the Vatican has struggled to defend its wartime pope against claims he didn't do enough to save Jews from the Holocaust. Last year, the Vatican began making available to scholars millions of Vatican documents from the years leading up to World War II, making them available ahead of schedule at the request of Pope John Paul II. The prisoner files date from 1939-1946, covering inquiries from across Europe on the fate of servicemen from the various armies that fought in the war and other missing persons. The Vatican set up offices during World War II to help relatives trace family members. Copyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company
