Schutzbrief ("Oltalomlevel"), ausgestellt für einen ungarischen Juden und unterzeichnet vom Apostolischen Nuntius in Budapest, Monsignore Angelo Rotta. 31,5 x 23,3 cm.

Judaica - Angelo Rotta

Autographen – Seltener Original-Schutzpass, ausgestellt vom Vertreter des Papstes in Budapest. Die Kampagne für die Ausstellung von Schutzpässen für bedrohte Juden durch die Kirche wurde von Monsignore Angelo Rotta (1872-1965), dem päpstlichen Nuntius in Budapest, angeführt, der als erster Vertreter des Vatikans die nationalsozialistische Aggression gegen die Juden in einem offenen Forum anprangerte. Vor allem gelang es Rotta, Papst Pius XII. davon zu überzeugen, Juden, die zum Katholizismus konvertiert waren, Schutzpässe auszustellen - obwohl er sein Budapester Büro anwies, die religiöse Identität der Antragsteller zu übersehen -, weshalb dieser Mann eine große Zahl von Juden rettete. 1997 wurde Rotta posthum von Yad Vashem als einer der Gerechten unter den Völkern geehrt, weil er maßgeblich an der Rettung von etwa 15.000 ungarischen Juden beteiligt war.

Autographs – Original protective pass granted by the Pope's representative to Budapest. The campaign for the Church to issue passes to Jews under threat was led by Monsignor Angelo Rotta (1872-1965) the Papal Nuncio in Budapest, who was the first Vatican representative to denounce in an open forum Nazi aggression against the Jews. More significantly Rotta succeeded in persuading Pope Pius XII to issue protective-passes to Jews who had converted to Catholicism - although he instructed his Budapest office to overlook the religious identity of anyone applying for such a pass - hence the large number of Jews saved by this man. In 1997 Rotta was posthumously honored by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous Among the Nations for being instrumental in saving some 15,000 Hungarian Jews.
