Vatican apologises over holocaust

Monday, March 16, 1998 Published at 19:35 GMT

The Vatican has apologised to Jews on behalf of the entire Roman Catholic community, for failing to speak out against the Nazi holocaust during World War Two.

In his letter accompanying the apology, the Pope said the holocaust remained an indelible stain on the 20th century.

The Vatican's long-anticipated response to the killing of six million Jews was published in Rome on Monday. snip

But the document fails to explain why Pope Pius never took sides during World War Two by speaking out against the holocaust while it was actually taking place.

American Jews not impressed

The US Jewish community voiced disappointment at the Vatican's statement.
