Persecución nazi a los católicos en Polonia
Durante la Ocupación alemana de Polonia (1939-1945), los nazis reprimieron brutalmente a la Iglesia católica en Polonia, con mayor dureza en las zonas de Polonia ocupadas por los alemanes. Miles de iglesias y monasterios fueron sistemáticamente cerrados, confiscados o destruidos. Como consecuencia, se perdieron para siempre muchas obras de arte y objetos religiosos.
Los líderes eclesiásticos fueron especialmente perseguidos como parte de un esfuerzo general por destruir la cultura polaca. Al menos 1811 miembros del clero polaco fueron asesinados en campos de concentración nazis. Se calcula que unos 3000 miembros del clero fueron asesinados. Los planes de Hitler para la germanización del Este no permitían el catolicismo.[1]
Las acciones emprendidas contra el catolicismo polaco formaban parte del Generalplan Ost' que, de haberse llevado a cabo, habría acabado por erradicar la existencia de los polacos. Adolf Hitler dijo en agosto de 1939 que quería que sus fuerzas de Cabeza de Muerte "mataran sin piedad ni misericordia a todos los hombres, mujeres y niños de ascendencia o lengua polaca".[2]

A Question of Judgment: Pius XII & the Jews
By Dr. Joseph L. Lichten
Dr. Joseph L. Lichten, who died in Rome, in December, 1987, was a long-time proponent of mutual understanding and cooperation between the Catholic and Jewish communities in both the United States and Europe. He was born in Poland, received his Doctor of Law degree from the University of Warsaw, and engaged in international diplomacy with the Polish government. In 1963, shortly after the initial production of Rolf Hochhuth's play, The Deputy, and while serving as director of the International Affairs Department for the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, he wrote this monograph. It was published by the National Catholic Welfare Conference, forerunner of the United States Catholic Conference. It is reproduced here in its entirety.
In any human organization, the actions and attitudes of its leader color the image the organization has of itself and projects to those outside its membership. The stronger the leader, in his vested authority and in his person, the more firmly will this image be molded in his form.
This truism is particularly applicable to the Roman Catholic Church. Men speak of "good" popes and "bad", and of "good" and "bad" ages in the hist
