When the wartime pope died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Apostolic Archive, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. It has been a major point of controversy for decades — and without answering the questions concerning his guilt or innocence, the Vatican prepared to canonize him a saint, a process that started in 2000. In 2020, the archives were opened. Historian David Kertzer, a Vatican scholar and Brown University professor, has now written a new book that sheds light on Pius XII during the war years. Kertzer's 484-page book, The Pope at War is based on a treasure trove of documents — 12 volumes to be exact — from the Vatican, along with state archives of the United States, Italy, France, Germany and Britain.
