Rivlin welcomes ‘brave’ Vatican decision to open Holocaust-era archives

President Reuven Rivlin hails as “brave and welcome” Pope Francis’s announcement that archives on World War II-era Pope Pius XII will be opened next year.

The decision “will allow free access to records of the darkest period in human history. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” the president tweets, referring to the Holocaust.
