Best Answer

Pius XII saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust and has been recognized for his efforts by many countries, especially Israel. He did more than any other country or individual on earth to protect the Jews. perhaps more than all other efforts combined. The problems developed when Nikolai Kruschev of the USSR declared a massive disinformation campaign to smear the name of Pius and cause divisions between the U.S., Israel and the Vatican. At one time the USSR had more people employed in disinformation than the entire number of soldiers in their armies. For more information, read this book written by a man who was one of the central figures in the disinformation campaign:

Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism
by Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa (Author) , Ronald Rychlak (Author)

One can also find information abou the Kremlin's disinformation campaign against Pius by looking up "Operation Sear 12" on the internet by clicking here..
