1998 A.D. The Vatican releases the long-awaited document "We Remember: A Reflection of the Shoah" that is still under scrutiny by radical Jewish factions who insist on placing the blame of the Holocaust on the Catholic Church because they assumed the Holy See and Catholic people didn't do enough when, in truth, it was the Catholic Church who not only stood with the Jews in the concentration camps, but clandestinely stole many a member of the Covenant out of harm's way by hiding them from the Nazis.
