Vel d'Hiv Roundup of 1942,” the music is titled "Ameno,"

re opinion written in the red text on yellow background (see below), it is what was essentially given March 2010 in 
Munich, by Mordechay Lewy, the then-Israeli Ambassador 
to the Holy See, on the silence of Pope Pius XII regarding 
the Holocaust and his failure to condemn publicly anti-
Semitism. 

For the full article that was used for presentation below of Ambassador Mordechay Lewy's educated opinion, see THE JERUSALEM POST at https://www.jpost.com/…/Why-was-Pope-...

This video (click on the video's play button above) is about French collaboration with the Nazis for the deportation of Jews to the death camps. Pope Pius XII knew that the Holocaust was happening, but he chose to remain silent and "neutral," supposedly so as not to disturb Roman Catholics in Germany, and thereby bring on Nazi reprisals against the Church should German Roman Catholics become hostile to the Nazis. The German populace, however, was already well acquainted with the fact of the Holocaust; neither the Roman Catholics nor the Lutherans were disposed to shed their anti-Semitism and raise an extraordinary, public outcry against the Nazis' treatment of the Jews and other persecuted groups (e.g., Gypsies and Jehovah's Witnesses).
