Who was this extraordinary priest and how did he become adept at hiding Jews, providing them with false papers, and helping them to elude their persecutors? From monasteries first in Marseille and later in Rome, P re Marie-Beno t worked with Jewish co-conspirators to build remarkably effective Jewish-Christian rescue networks. Acting independently without Vatican support but with help from some priests, nuns, and local citizens, he and his friends persisted in their clandestine work until the Allies liberated Rome. After the conflict, P re Marie-Beno t maintained his wartime Jewish friendships and devoted the rest of his life to Jewish Christian reconciliation. Papal officials viewed both activities unfavorably until after the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), 1962-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo tell this remarkable tale, in addition to her research in French and Italian archives, Zuccotti personally interviewed P re Marie-Beno t, his family, Jewish rescuers with whom he worked, and survivors who owed their lives to his network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Zuccotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253008534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Zuccotti is author of \u003ci\u003eThe Italians and the Holocaust: Persecution, Rescue, and Survival; The Holocaust, the French, and the Jews;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eUnder His Very Windows: The Vatican and the Holocaust in Italy; \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Holocaust Odysseys: The Jews of Saint-Martin-Vésubie and Their Flight through France and Italy\u003c\/i\u003e.
