Abstract
The article examines Jesuit Pietro Tacchi Venturi’s role in addressing aid appeals submitted to both him and the Holy See during World War II from Jews and Jewish converts to Catholicism. The article is divided into two parts. First, after a biographical overview of Tacchi Venturi, Sergio Palagiano presents Affari series documents about aid requests to escape racial laws that the Jesuit received for relevant fascist ministry handling. Second, Raffaella Perin reviews historiographical insights on Tacchi’s stance toward Jews and Italy’s racial laws. Using newly accessible documentation cross-referencing Vatican and Society of Jesus archives, she reconstructs various aid appeal cases.
