— including women and
children, the elderly and the
sick — exterminated only
because they were Jews.
Considering this mystery of
the suffering of Israel's
children, their witness of
hope, of faith and of humani-
ty under dehumanizing
outrages, the church ex-
periences ever mnore deeply
her common bond with the
Jewish people and with their
treasure of spiritual riches in
the past and in the present.
It is also fitting to recall the
strong, unequivocal efforts of
the popes against anti-
Semitism and Nazis at the
height of the persecution
against the Jews. Back in
1935, Pius XI declared that
"anti-Semitism cannot be ad-
mitted" (Sept. 6, 1935), and
he declared the total opposi-
tion between Christianity
and Nazism by stating that
the Nazi cross is an "enemy of
the Cross of Christ"
(Christmas Allocution, 1938).
And I am convinced that
history will reveal ever more
clearly and convincingly how
deeply Pius XII felt the
tragedy of the Jewish people,
and how hard and effectively
he worked to assist them dur-
ing the Second World War.. .
The terrible tragedy of your
people has led many Jewish
thinkers to reflect on the
human condition with acute
insights. Their vision of man
and the roots of this vision in
the teachings of the Bible,
which we share in our com-
mon heritage of the Hebrew
Scriptures, offer Jewish anc
Catholic scholars much useful
material for reflection and
dialogue.
In order to understand even
more deeply the meaning of
the Shoah and the historical
roots of anti-Semitism that
are related to it, joint col-
laboration and studies by
Catholics and Jews on the
Shoah should be continued.
Such studies have already
taken place through many
conferences in your country,
such as the National
Workshops on Christian-
Jewish Relations. The
religious and historical impli-
cations of the Shoah for
Christians and Jews will now
be taken up formally by the
International Catholic-
Jewish Liaison Committee,
meeting later this year in the
United States for the first
time. And as was affirmed in
the important and very cor-
dial meeting I had with
Jewish leaders in Castel
Grandolfo on Sept. 1, a
Catholic document on the
Shoah and anti-Semitism will
be forthcoming, resulting
from such serious studies.
Similarly, it is to be hoped
Pope John Paul II
that common educational pro-
grams on our historical and
religious relations, which are
well developed in your coun-
try, will truly promote mutu-
al respect and teach future
generations about the Holo-
caust so that-never again will
such a horror be possible.
Never again .. .
It is also desirable that in
every diocese Catholics
should implement, under the
direction of the Bishops, the
statement of the Second
Vatican Council and the
subsequent instructions
issued by the Holy See re-
garding the correct way to
preach and teach about Jews
and Judaism. I know that a
great may efforts in this direc-
tion have already been made
by Catholics, and I wish to ex-
press my gratitude to all
those who have worked so
diligently for this aim.
Jews And Israel
Necessary for any sincere
dialogue is the intention of
each partner to allow others
to define themselves "in the
light of their own religious ex-
perience" (1970 "Guidelines,"
Introduction). In fidelity to
this affirmation, Catholics
recognize among the ele-
ments of the Jewish ex-
perience that Jews have a
religious attachment to the
Land, which finds its roots in
biblical tradition.
After the tragic extermina-
tion of the Shoah, the Jewish
people began a new period in
their history. They have a
right to a homeland, as does
any civil nation, according to
international law. "For the
Jewish people who live in the
State of Israel and who
preserve in that land such
precious testimonies to their
history and their faith, we
must ask for the desired
security and the due tran-
quility that is the prerogative
of every nation and condition
