(unpaged) SUMMARY Tibor Baranski, honored as a Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, was born June 11, 1922 in Budapest, Hungary. He was educated in Hungarian Gymnasia and aware of rising antisemitism by 1938. He studied for the priesthood in Vesprem in 1940 and in Kassa (Kosice) in 1943. He learned of Nazi extermination plans through church channels. He returned to Budapest October 20, 1944 as the Russian army drew near. He provides a very detailed and extensive description of several rescues of Jews, from October to December, 1944, at the request of Angelo Rotta, the papal nuncio, who acted as a representative of the Vatican under orders of Pope Pius XII. He rescued Jews from a transit camp to safe houses in Budapest. He worked with representatives from neutral nations and the Red Cross to stop deportations from Hegyeshalom, using protective letters (Schutzpasse), and safe houses to shelter almost 6000 Jews. He was almost executed several times.Provides details of efforts to hide Jews by christian groups and individuals. He credits Elizabeth Kemeny, Raoul Wallenberg, Prince Esterhazy, Father Hummel and a number of priests and nuns who helped in the rescue. He talks about his encounter with Wallenberg and why he was arrested by the Russians. Tibor was arrested by the Russians December 30, 1944 and sent on a deathmarch from Budapest to Szekszarv. -
Goldhagen V. Pius XII," by Ronald J
FIRST THINGS June/July 2002, "Goldhagen v. Pius XII," by Ronald J. Rychlak, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of Mississippi School of Law. He is the author of Hitler, the War, and the Pope (Genesis). http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0206/articles/rychlak.html FIRST THINGS: the Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life June/July 2002 Goldhagen v. Pius XII Ronald J. Rychlak Copyright (c) 2002 First Things 124 (June/July 2002): 37-54. Tendentious attacks on Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli) are nothing new. Indeed, they have become commonplace. Yet Daniel Goldhagen’s recent 27,000–word essay for the New Republic, “What Would Jesus Have Done? Pope Pius XII, the Catholic Church, and the Holocaust” (January 21, 2002), calls for special attention. Based upon his forthcoming book, A Moral Reckoning (Knopf), Goldhagen’s essay is noteworthy both for the breathtaking scope of its claims and the air of righteous indignation that infuses it. Not content to argue that Pope Pius did less to save the Jews than he should have, as many other scholars have done, Goldhagen goes much further—to attack Pacelli as an anti–Semite and the Church as a whole as an institution thoroughly, and perhaps inextricably, permeated by anti–Semitism. In fact, he even argues that “the main responsibility for producing this all–time leading Western hatred lies with Christianity. More specifically, with the Catholic Church.” Such charges demand a thorough response. In his most recent book, Hitler’s Willing Executioners, Goldhagen asserted that blame for the Holocaust should be placed on ordinary Germans and their unique brand of anti– Semitism. -

The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz
DEATH DEALER The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz by Rudolph Hoss Edited by Steven Paskuly Translated by Andrew Pollinger Foreword by Primo Levi DA CAPO" PRESS Death Dealer The Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz ''A valuable addition to Holocaust studies, a chilling self-portrait of an all too-typical servant of totalitarianism." -Library Journal "[Ross's autobiography] combines a considerable amount of accurate in formation [with] some genuine insights into his past." -New York Review of Books "Must reading in light of the growing activities of Holocaust deniers." -Jewish Post & Opinion Praise for the 1960 Expurgated Edition "[A] gruesomely fascinating book." -Phoebe Adams, The Atlantic "This is a book of concentrated horror looked at in a cold, detached way . The reader can look at this important document from various angles. He can regard the book as a unique historical description of the acting out of man's barbaric horror fantasies in a so-called civilized world. Or he can take a psychological view and ask: what went on in the minds of men who,coldly committed these perfidious crimes? ... This autobiography of a deluded multi-million murderer belongs in the hands of many readers." -New Thrk Times Book Review "Ross's story reads like one of those trick problems in logic, in which at some point a carefully concealed false deduction has been made and the whole train of reasoning has been thrown hopelessly awry." --Commonweal "To get anywhere near a true assessment of this nightmare character, you have to picture [Hoss] -

http://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection TIBOR BARANSKI [1-1-1] Key: TB - Tibor Baranski [interviewee] JF - Josey Fisher [interviewer] Interview Date: Tape 1, side 1: JF: Mr. Baranski, can you tell us where and when you were born and a little bit about your background? TB: In the 1880's a Polish gentleman, after the third dismemberment of Poland, when Poland disappeared from the map of Europe and the southern part of Poland was close to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was ordered to spend his soldier time in Budapest. This gentleman was my grandfather, Albert Baranski. He fell in love with the Hungarian city and after his three years of soldier duty he married in Budapest; Rudolph (or in Hungarian, Reszl) Baranski, my father, was born there. And since Austria-Hungary was together for 400 years, it was quite natural that he fell in love with a lady who was born in Wiener Neustadt, a suburb of Vienna, Maria Schelnader, and this lady became my mother. These two persons were unfortunately were too short people in love because later in life my parents got divorced, and this I do not want to comment on this day. I was born on June 11, 1922, in Budapest, and according to superstitious people, on a very lucky time, Sunday morning, seven o’clock. I was raised in very, very deep and affectionate love, sometimes maybe a little bit soft love, but God was gracious enough to give me a lot of illnesses which well balanced so, thanks God I did not become a tempered brat. -
International Coverage of the Symposium on the Internet
Address at the conclusion of the symposium organized by the "Pave the Way Foundation" Page 1 of 2 ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZED BY THE "PAVE THE WAY FOUNDATION" Hall of the Swiss, Castel Gandolfo Thursday, 19 September 2008 Dear Mr Krupp, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to meet with you at the conclusion of the important symposium organized by the Pave the Way Foundation. I know that many eminent scholars have participated in this reflection on the numerous works of my beloved predecessor - the Servant of God Pope Pius XII - accomplished during the difficult period around the time of the second world war. I warmly welcome each of you especially Mr Gary Krupp, President of the Foundation, whom I thank for the kind words expressed on your behalf. I am grateful to him for informing me how your work has been undertaken during the symposium. You have analyzed without bias the events of history and concerned yourselves only with seeking the truth. I also greet those accompanying you on this visit, as well as your family members and loved ones at home. The focus of your study has been the person and the tireless pastoral and humanitarian work of Pius XII, Pastor Angelicus. Fifty years have passed since his pious death here at Castel Gandolfo early on the ninth of October 1958, after a debilitating disease. This anniversary provides an important opportunity to deepen our knowledge of him, to meditate on his rich teaching and to analyze thoroughly his activities.
