a surprise for many in this relatively rule and quiet part of germany which had so far gotten quite well through the pandemic we ask around to hear what people have to say about the measures. i think the measures a simply right and necessary look pending. in concert to see everything going down the drain like this there really is a lack of perspective jobsite going bust is going to put a through and demanded to i don't know whether the measures are really necessary in my opinion testing should be done differently we should test for corona and for influenza because well the flu patients we normally have every year. we visited today and now is to close his shop due to the lockdown measures. and then again encounter skepticism when it comes to cope at 19. was thoughtless i don't believe that the virus 6 that's all that is around here so

that made it into the champions league this season have progressed to the knockout stages and some consider that a surprise because the bundesliga has been referred to as a farmers' league that means the level of competition except at the very top is of lesser quality than in other leagues but this season 2 clubs beyond the regular contenders biron and dortmund have already shown they're worth. a lot of us. and r.v. life seek. one looking to return to their glory days of the 1970 s. . the other looking to prove their historic run last season wasn't a fluke. plot by having reached the knockout stages of europe's top club competition since 1977 nearly 10 years before the oldest player on their current roster was born black bought it at that drought by picking up points against reality drake and the law number one in 2 on the all time title list in their final

group stage match there was joy in defeat after learning they had advanced. made it through and my team deserves a lot of respect in pride for that but i'm unsure i'm very proud of the guys are being leipsic who 1st earned promotion to the bundesliga in 2016 made it to the champions league semifinal slashed season and they did it without the services of t.-mo vienna which made you be in august monday look even more impressive at the helm in a tough group that included last season's finalists p.s.g. leipzig needed a win last week against manchester united in their final group stage match in order to advance and the bulls stampeded through. yet another that sort of an isolation to my team for getting to the next stage that was a big win for us after the experience last year the knockout phase and the lads were burning to get there again and they did it 2 years ago no but this league

sides even made it through to the champions league quarter finals but last season 2 teams reached the final for him the fund is legal repeat that success and shake its farmers leaf tag once and for all. that's a news update stay tuned for our documentary with a new. catholic church during the nazi era after the vatican opened to secret records and clay richardson in berlin from in the team thanks for watching. imagine how many portions of lunch are thrown out in the world climb a tree before that office door this is my place and way from just one week. before i can really get. with the how time to where i'm going all.

this. process. hope francis has set out to herald a new era for the catholic church. an era of transparency. now he has opened the vatican archives and given access to past the 12th files one of the most controversial pontiffs in history. pius the 12th remained silent as millions of jews were killed by the nazi regime. because of his silence some called him hitler's pope. others pious the 12th was a saint who secretly saved the lives of thousands of jews finally the vatican files about the 12 are fully accessible and can shed new light on his silence during the

holocaust the time for truth has come. rome 2nd of march to thaw. 1020. on this day the documents from the papacy of pius the 12th were declassified. millions of files from 939958 kept secret in the vatican for decades. off finally accessible to researchers and historians. german historian who put forth was one of the 1st 2 are documents. disclosed to us

i live not really made in the 1st thing that everyone naturally associates with the vatican secret archives as the war is of course dan brown's novel some kind of hermetically sealed glass cubes in which archivists regulate the oxygen supply from outside a can absolute nonsense the vatican archive is not like any other. obvious ones it's once again although we have actually been working regularly in the vatican archives apprentice years now on because it was of course something special and are going to because one simply has a whole range of questions of the pops from the what did the pope know about the mass murder of jews when he had seen him for who informed him how did he believe what he was told he busy didn't. hope francis had announced this decision one year earlier. occasion and older

less told him. it will be a matter of if you him in your camilla might be your queen the one just is if you do then maybe that is holding up all your feel where your leadership had already visited but the monument. and they had gone nearly as director of the vatican news outlet and one of them in closest to the holy father. according to him this decision reveals francis is commitment to a transparent church. like years on a boat other than really that the church does not fear the truth because pope francis holds firm to this principle story let us also consider the great scandal the struggle against abuse he has insisted that there be full transparency by me and his decision to open the archives can be seen in this light.

since his election pope francis is mission has been to restore credibility to an institution suffering from sexual and financial scandals. pope francis's choice was to open the doors of the church. there should be no more room for secrecy in the vatican. 'd even inconvenient truths have to be confronted in public. the opening of the archives was big news as pious the 12th is still

a matter of heated discussion between catholics and jews across the world. from palm pope francis decision to open the so-called secret files of pope pius the 12th it's certainly an encouraging sign. how stalk him now for count. found later one can revisit the question of a possible beatification and then jointly recognize that yes this was a man who really did do all that he could there before the con that he was a pope who perhaps could have done more or done things differently should have acted or could have acted differently so in order missing. ice the 12th reputation started to become controversial in the 1960 s. when a theater play the deputy exposed the pope's silence during the the holocaust. as

international protests broke out the then pope called the 6th decided to make thousands of documents from the 2nd world war period public. for many historians though this collection was incomplete. and pious the 12th has remained a mystery. pious the 12th was born in $876.00 under the name. at the age of 23 he entered the priesthood. after rising swiftly in the curia and $917.00 but chile became the pope's ambassador in munich. church historian stefan some ascii studied the exchange of letters between the vatican also known as the holy sea and its representatives in germany. many of

these letters were written by the future pius the 12th. when the child came to bavaria he obviously came to a catholic state and he was welcomed very joyfully and warmly as if. however the political situation was at the end of 1918 the beginning of 1901 exactly what the celli did not want. in 1918 the 1st world war came to an end defeated the german empire collapsed and then with the turmoil the socialists tried to seize power the situation was particularly tense in munich with the chile lived the socialist republic it was partly aimed it's direct he was directly attacked by representatives of the socialist republic and munich they came to the vatican embassy and wanted to confiscate his car schlock no. you. know they keep communism was he knew about communism from his studies within you

that communism is not compatible with catholic teachings but above all he knew communism from this experience in munich they put a gun to my head my life was in danger and they created total chaos and used. in 1925 chile was transferred to berlin. in the capital you negotiated a contract on relations between. state and church with the german government and rice concordat. as the steam puppets and guns noise suddenly it was a whole new political system and what had been a monarchy now became a republic context and in this context the relationship between church and state had to be completely reorganized noise is concerned holiday regulations universities training of priests spirit on as it touched all areas that had to be

regulated between church and state. father completes probably one of the few living witnesses who has personal memories of time in germany. it didn't show groom him i personally met the future pope pius the 12th for the 1st time when i was very young well when i was 6 or 7 years old both to me exchanged a few words with me later i got to know him and i noticed that an aura of spirituality when i did from him that i had never seen with other people like him midge i dealt with other pope's 2 private audiences with all the 6 john paul the 2nd and john the 2030 owners and so on john is doing very well they were all great men and important personalities and good people but i must honestly say that nobody

made such an impression on me as pious the 12th george and become of g.p.s. . for many years father complete advocated for the beatification of pius the 12th in the course of this process he had a unique opportunity to look at the secret documents in the vatican archives as well and i was in those days during the 2nd world war thousands of letters arrived at the vatican they were answered whenever possible in this mix. he was not someone who made easy choices it was before making a decision people always wanted to study a problem from all sides so as not to make a mistake so he was careful and that was right that's good. the process of making past the 12th a saint was started in 1965 all that is missing to finalize it is proof of the

miraculous healing as required by the regulations. pope francis has announced that the process is on hold. the church in my opinion. the i'm sorry for my thought. and cora. in. me to not just the enemy not putting up on that i'm. a family no. an even bigger obstacle to pass the 12 beatification is the control over his relationship with the nazi regime. this began in the 1930 s. back then a tele was appointed state secretary the most powerful man in the vatican after the pope. at the

same time germany was witnessing the rise of the national socialist party and its leader at all for hitler. again your pajamas 1st eugénie your peccerelli knew nothing about hitler even wrote to his colleague or even the vatican ambassador in vienna he asked him for information about the hitler youth and he to a certain had luck if he also never met hitler in person back then he did not see hitler as a great danger not. cause if you fast. in january 933 hitler became german chancellor. just one month later after the burning of the price tag the persecution of german jews began. in april

a jewish woman named edith stein wrote a letter to the pope that historians found in the vatican archives years ago. it is time i did stein a jewish woman and philosophical education turned to the pope with and we should keep in mind that edith stein was jewish and she had converted to catholicism is think of it it is we now know from his notes i was dodging request made an opening in a bitter enemy that she asked him to speak out publicly and loudly against the persecution of the jews and therefore this letter from edith stein was actually presented to the pope people believe that it's time to perhaps will be fully just. you. all of us who are faithful children of the church and who

look at the conditions in germany with open eyes feel the worst for the reputation of the church if this silence lasts much longer. make it an underworld. do i need to share and then there was a reply which is actually embarrassing. upped but shelley rode to be our chap who had presented the letter to the holy father. he had seen it used and offered his encouragement and gave the papal blessing want. but a request no mention. in hardly needs. a historian at their core forces in rome is researching the relationship between jews and catholics at that time nina the reporting object huge amount of but surely did do some good but chile's main concern was the protection of the catholics and

the catholic church in a nazi germany for the vatican jewish problems were not a priority. when there. today pope francis is received with open arms by the jewish community. as his predecessors have done before him francis calls the jewish people older brothers. them immediately is that. the. scene where they've never been. able to get in if you don't even know. he's in he's. the bishop of effort was appointed by the german conference of bishops to improve relationships between catholics and jews according to him in the 1930 s. many in the catholic clergy were not immune to anti semitism you know present

government our skin we have to assume that in the thirty's and most catholics were guided by the principle that jews did not recognize the messiah let's go to you wouldn't how did they miss the allegation that they were responsible for jesus's death on the cross was also common chords as to and we know that there were many sermons that repeated this. and these as in how it's the keypad. determined to gain the majority in parliament hitler tried to secure the support of the catholics. not your lot of a deal with you know by a bit bring you all a big if the back door got out all about a pope but. shortly afterwards hitler offered the vatican the agreement on which by chellie had been working since the 1920 s. the concordant. the vatican accepted.

himself signed the pact with the future fear of. its model it was of course that was a huge triumph for hitler because his regime was not trusted by the rest of the world it. and the 1st international treaty hitler ever made was a treaty with the holy see if a cockney to hide so if the ultimate moral authority the holy see makes a treaty with this regime then other countries can legitimately do it as well under limbo. for years earlier in 1929 the vatican had already signed a similar agreement with fascist italy and its dictator benito mussolini was a blessing of a large part of the local clergy. diplomatic

relations between the holy see and fascist regimes other field of expertise of professor my tail luigi a police. chief. the majority of the italian clergy supported the fascist regime for she stuck. with the law it could be quickly. but i think any priests could fall for their country and their youth are going to model and felt like a patriotic priests. doing too. but i think part of the article. also at that time many in the catholic clergy saw fascism as a lesser evil in comparison to the real enemy communism. an atheist ideology the promise to overthrow the social system which the church had been representing centuries. of markets ability for cash

i realised quite quickly how the situation in soviet russia escalated. persecutions of the clergy occurred in that area not only the orthodox church was persecuted before priests priests were arrested void churches were closed because the faithful were harassed and church prop. he was confiscated that is also happened to the catholic church. however as hitler gained more control over the german population he also began to target the church the fewer wanted to impose naziism as the only national religion. hitler grew up in a catholic environment in austria and paid church taxes until he died in fact he even took inspiration from catholicism for nazi symbols and rituals. it was 1st in

your twenty's of he was fascinated by this hierarchical structure of the catholic church will perhaps at the top the pope on the other side of the future is of the top well he had a certain fascination with the church but in fact he had nothing at all to do with it the church was his opponent. over the years the catholic bishops of germany increasingly rejected nazi policies there were protests. isc up i know there was a claire rejection of national socialism was in the this was essentially a rejection of racism of euthanasia. and also the attempt to build a new nazi religion but in for as you annoy you in a sense another salesman's of 2 bone. was on us but of a ship of mr clemens one garland was particularly important in this regard because

he protested very strongly against euthanasia is also strongly that the national socialists ended this policy in the town. one gallon and other german bishops denounced violations of the concord and asked the vatican for an official protest. sure you sure wouldn't hoped you wouldn't if a catholic schools were no longer allowed to board as they were actually closed even though it was a breach of the concord a there was no more pastoral care in prisons. only military chaplaincy continue to exist when were agreements were simply suspended well they were not implemented and there was no point is that it was not effective to invoke the terms of the concord act the that did not achieve anything. else that needs perfect. pope pius the 11th wrote a letter to the german faithful and in cyclical that was raised in old german

touches on palm sunday in 1937. has a worship or english denominate called the encyclical it was originally called with great concern i just want to make it clear that the holy see was concerned about the situation this persecution of the catholic church in germany voted on this title was then personally changed by put shelley who made it a bit sharper and he chose a stronger adjective on the burning and so the title began with burning concern to emphasize once again how seriously the holy see was taking the situation in germany . not is something to the nazis were outraged companies because they only found out about it after this text was read out from all the pulpits in all legitimate churches at 9 o'clock in the morning extra lays involved. but this

and cyclical have no lasting effect. i cannot say that this was a change in the tactics of the struggle become thought i would say it was like a flash in the pan so it didn't go any further it was get done with my to. pass the 11th actually wrote an insecure to condemn the and to semitic laws enacted by hitler and mussolini but this letter was never published and it is unclear if the celli stopped publication. a mystery that can be solved only once the research in the vatican archives is completed. in february $939.00 is the 11th died and but shelley was elected to st peter's throne. was.

he chose for himself the name of pius the 12th in our march to his predecessor. by chance. when cheli was elected pope. was very concerned most of the bottle should look just the more his son in law galley out so chana gave us evidence of this. and that's germany's reaction is also interesting and no less disturbing new mineral broker bought. from germany ice ice cold silence they made it clear you are not our pope if we are not necessarily happy i said you would have become pope the perhaps the best. in the 12th had been elected pope only 6 months before hitler ordered the invasion of poland and the 2nd world war broke out only to look bad by. the pope as head of the

vatican a micro state without an army that hardly had the means to really oppose hitler. the vatican could use the. clemency and charity diplomacy. for biographers of pius the 12th the 2nd world war period remains a mystery. many questions are still unanswered. first when did the pope find out about the extermination of the jews. for one week professor of all of and his team were able to search the archives for an answer to this question. then the corona crisis broke out and the research had to be interrupted but in that 1st week they found documents that offer a revealing insight. in the summer of 942 us

president roosevelt received a letter from a jewish agency containing information on the mass murder of jews in poland and ukraine. the liquidation of the warsaw ghetto is under way without any distinction all jews are led away from the ghetto in groups and short their bodies are used to make fat and their bones to produce fertilizer however the mass executions do not take place in wars or itself but in camps specially prepared for this purpose. a white house on voice reached out to the vatican asking for the pope's evaluation he wanted to know if the vatican had already received similar information and this past the 12th would agree to take part in a joint protest the high leverage to how to. fly in from the holy sea i actually had 2 pieces of information some for the 1st piece of information came from count

my vet who had been travelling in ukraine books who would call when he returned he told one teeny the future pope all the sex about the horrors he had seen their dog what the germans were doing to the jews argument had lasted dodging them you would know until. and your mind its widest and they had a 2nd and more important report from a unified catholic archbishop metropolitan from of a of limbo like who confirmed exactly what the jewish organization said you did organise that xians are so the vatican could actually have answered yes i can confirm that the report is reliable did you do it lensed you couldn't view but they didn't they said yes we have also heard these things and yeah but we are not able to verify the truth of these statements. why did the vatican give such an answer. the missing piece of the puzzle is perhaps in a recently discovered document a note from a close advisor to the pope once in you angelo della. of

the aqua road because the american request is crucial. if the information is correct and. then comes a terrible sentence for bottles that can you believe jews always exaggerate followed by the recommendation that let's remain politically cautious because if we speak out we take sides and we should be nonpartizan. and this note helps us to understand why the 12th remained silent and did not take part in the allies join to protest against the mass murder of jews. this is documented. guitar not involved of course this document alone does not give a reliable answer to the question of what the pope did and why he did it he of all can because we need a 3rd review of all the material in order to be able to give an overall judgment

and that anything else would not be credible very neat but the fact that after one week we have already found such a key piece of information besides i means that we have to take a closer look at all the sources if the shoulder is to constantly and you know on these this document must do this after blows this document however makes one element more plausible in 4 meals in it shows that the pope was informed about the true extent of the holocaust in autumn $942.00. fundies of it shows us that he knew of this american request to confirm these figures to have it again that's had any good time he did not do so what am i although he had his own sources. these i mean crazy because these sources were not considered reliable by the pope infant and the cardinal secretary of state. probably because dellacqua made them look

ludicrous by their lack of isolationalist remark tut. pious only broke his silence at the christmas mass in 1942. on that occasion he condemned all racial persecutions without any specific reference to jews. when. they hear you know. they brought it. to me that i don't think you're running at the. beginning. of the news and. how does the 12 mention those who suffered those who are persecuted and those who suffered and who because of their nationality religion all origin you know the song some. he used the italian terms did pick which does not mean race but describes a line of descent in other words he spoke. without referring to jews in particular

. since the beginning of the war the pope had received letters from jews in various countries all of whom pleaded for help they all described the same atrocities. we humbly ask you that you might be so good as to ask his holiness to appeal to the catholic clergy in slovakia to use its influence to stop the terrible deportations immediately. we know exactly how we will die. crammed in under barbed wire mass graves we dig ourselves children thrown in alive the adults stripped naked battered with a club. and into the grave a few bullets fired as an afterthought. escaped.

there are an incredible number i'd say thousands of letters from jewish people to the pope that's it much might be trees are often petitions just petitions that say we are in this or that terrible situation and what can you help us to get out just as the pubs in other words call the pope did not just see the holocaust in the abstract numbers but also in very precise individual stories when it's taught us we'll not to listen after one week we have only found these letters of petition . but we do not yet know how the holy see reacted in mind in some cases we have found the petition and the refusal and there were no further developments in other cases the holy see tried to help and they'd help. this isn't god this is a very large subject and perhaps the most important in the whole archive isn't as you hoped. in

1943 the wall reached the gates of the vatican. when rome was heavily bombed by the allies as the 12th left the vatican to pray among the ruins. shortly after the loonies regime collapsed and hitler's troops entered italy. rome 2 fell under nazi occupation. the s.s. even made it to some peter's square. and on the 16th of october $943.00 after a raid in the jewish ghetto $1024.00 roman jews with a quarter to auschwitz. only 16 of them came back.

the opening of the archive finally sheds new light on what is the 12th did to protect the jews and what he did not to. be about afghanistan $1000.00 figure on his own traditionally the pope has always protected the roman jews do harm if it's immoral are. you not but during the deportation on october the 16th 943 the pope did not utter a word of protest they said the above the stone is your home i can he says are dumb you have sunk on top you know by not that he did not intervene to stop this deportation for auditing so that both us from. of even in to argue from charlie tried to act on differ. levels by him to start with he reached out to the german reich some bastard that had the holy say in hiding it would have died 2nd itself to tell him that he stood up for the jews and
