The Catholic Church and the Holocaust

The Catholic Church and the Holocaust (1930–1965) is a book written by American historian Michael Phayer on the topic of Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust.

Harvard professor Stanley Hoffmann considered it "a comprehensive and deeply disturbing volume" which "describes in detail Pope Pius XII's preference for quiet diplomacy with Hitler and his regime, his anxiety about the Catholic Church's fate, his solicitude for Germany's Catholics, and his conviction that communism posed a greater threat than did Nazism".
