Was Pius XII an accomplice or an adversary of the Nazi regime?
With unprecedented access to undisclosed Vatican files, this series sheds light on some of the Vatican's darkest secrets.
Secret Vatican Files uncovers the untold story of Pope Pius XII's covert efforts to save over 700,000 Jewish lives during World War II.
Using newly-discovered documents and unheard testimonies, this series reveals how Pius XII obstructed Hitler's regime and secretly collaborated with the German anti-Nazi resistance.
Challenging the long-standing "Black Legend" that has tarnished his papacy, Secret Vatican Files offers a fresh, compelling look at one of the most misunderstood chapters in Vatican history.
The Origins of Evil
With the spread of Hitler's anti-Semitic policies, we see the initial response Pope Pius XII has to this spreading darkness.
The Secret Plan
Hitler unleashes war and Pius XII organises clandestine meetings to thwart him, but the Allies do not trust the Pope's words.
The Devil's Revenge
Hitler once said that the Pope was his personal enemy and with the Nazi occupation of Italy he can finally carry out his revenge on Pius XII.
The Rats Flee West, A New Devil Comes from the East
The war is over, Hitler has committed suicide and thousands of Nazis are fleeing Europe with the help of members of the Vatican.
