That is a very heartening article, Neocon. It certainly shows that these people deserve immense respect and thanks--particularly in light of the fact that they were the only "occupied Catholic country" to tend to the fleeing Jews and to offer assistance solely out of the value termed the "sanctity of life." Bravo to them!

"In no other occupied Catholic country," says Paldiel of Yad Vashem, "were monasteries, convents, shrines, and religious houses opened to the fleeing Jews, and their needs attended to, without any overt intention to steer them away from their ancient faith, solely to abide by the preeminent religious command of the sanctity of life. Through this, they epitomized the best and most elevated form of religious faith and human fidelity."
