C Oak Park, MI 48237 — PROGRAM the late pope for 40 years. Sr. Lehnert said the pope wrote the condemnation after hearing that some 40,000 people in the Nether- lands had been sent to con- centration camps because of a pastoral letter written against the Nazis by a group of Dutch bishops. "He (the pope) prepared a protest, handwritten, in Ita- lian, four crowded pages," Sr. Lehnert said. "But at a certain point he came into the kitchen and, after hav- ing explained the matter to me, asked me to turn on the gas stove in order to burn it." Sr. Lehnert said she encouraged the pope to save the pages, "so that, once the war was over, the thoughts of the pon- tiff in this regard would be known." The pope however, insisted on burning the document, citing the possibility of further retribution by Hitler if the letter was discovered. Pius XII has been criticized by both Jewish and non-Jewish historians for his lack of concern for the plight of Jews during the Holocaust. Friday, March 4, 1983 31 , • • • • 5.
