PASSELECQ, GEORGES AND SUCHECKY, BERNARD. - The Hidden Encyclical of Pius XI (Translated from the French by Steven Rendell).

New York: Harcourt Brace & Co. 1997. "In the summer of 1938, Pope Pius XI asked an American Jesuit priest to write an encyclical denouncing Hitler's racial policies. But in early 1939, weeks after he received the draft, Pius XI died and his successor, Pius XII, never released the document. Published in its entirety in English for the first time, the book raised disturbing questions on the relations between the Vatican, state-sponsored anti-Semitism, and the Jews during World War II." Pp.24/319. P/b with illustrated cover. VG.
