SIR: With regard to Alan N. Cowan's letter (May 2008) I suggest it is he who needs to read more widely about Pius XII and the Jews. Rabbi David G. Dalin, in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, makes it clear that Susan Zuccotti, whom Cowan praises, is not "scrupulous and objective", in fact her theories are fanciful:

 
   During and for close to two 
   decades after World War II, 
   Jewish praise and gratitude for 
   Pius XII's efforts on behalf of 
   European Jewry were virtually 
   unanimous ... Susan Zuccotti 
   disparages and dismisses ... the 
   praise that Pius XII received 
   from contemporary Jewish 
   leaders ... To thus dismiss and 
   deny the legitimacy of their 
   collective gratitude to Pius XII 
   is tantamount to denying the 
   credibility of their personal 
   testimony ...
