Report Nº1 Available References Regarding the Actions Undertaken by Monsignor Guiseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII) in favor of Jews Persecuted by the Nazi Regime. Possible interventions of Monsignor Roncalli in favor of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust: 1) Issuance of "Immigration Certificates" for Palestine through the Vatican's Diplomatic Postal Service Various sources reveal that Monsignor Roncalli issued "Immigration Certificates" for Palestine to Archbishop Angelo Rotta in Budapest. Haim Barlas, the Jewish Agency's delegate in Istanbul, handed over these documents to Nuncio Rncalli. Sources: a) Haim Barlas, "Rescues During the Holocaust" (Salvamentos en el Holocausto), pg. 349 b) Monsignor Roncalli, "Remembering American Ambassador Ira Hirschman" (Memorando al Embajador Americano Ira Hirschman), 8-1-44, cited in a compilation of Vatican documents "The Saint Siege and the Victims of the War" January 1940-July 1945, pg. 390 (Le Saint Siège et les victimes de la guerre, janvier 1940-juillet 1945) c) Arthur Morse, "While Six Million Died". References are made to the issuance of "Baptismal Certificates". Possibly following after the erroneous reference of American Ambassador Hirschman in his book titled, "Caution to the Winds". Hirschman apparently confused the immigration certificates with baptismal certificates. d) On April 4, 1944, Monsignor Roncalli writes to Archbishop Rotta, "Considering that the immigration certificates which I have sent to you helped save the lives of those who received them, I have accepted three more packages from the Jewish Agency in Palestine. I would appreciate it if Your Excellency would give the abovementioned certificates to Mr. Miklos Krausz". (Cited in the record of Vatican documents, Le Saint Siège et les victimes de la Guerre, volume 10, pg. 195) 2) The Saving of Jews Through Baptismal Certificates According to historian, Peter Hebblethwaite, author of the book, "John XXIII, Pope of the Council", 1985, the idea of trying to save Jews through baptismal certificates was conceived by Nuncio Roncalli and it was Archbishop Rotta who applied it. a) Ted Szulc, in "The Secret Alliance: The Extraordinary Story of the Rescue of the Jews Since World War II", Pan, London 1991, pg. 54, affirms that "in the few months since Hirschman's meeting with the Apostolic Delegate, thousands of Jews were baptized in the anti-aerial shelters of Budapest and therefore saved from death."
