The Vatican Priest Who Saved 6,500 Jews in World War II | EWTN News In Depth
During the Nazi occupation of Rome in 1943 there were around 12,000 jews living in Rome. Hitler wanted to include them in his final solution and in just a few days, 1,000 were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. It was an incredibly tense and dangerous time for the Jewish community, and the other prisoners in the city. In the heart of Rome, at the Vatican was an Irish priest, Mons. Hugh O'Flaherty. He was living within the neutral territory of Vatican City and so was safe from the Gestapo. He organized a secret plan to hide thousands of Jews in different homes, religious houses around Rome, and inside the Vatican itself. This year marks the 60th anniversary of his death. EWTN's Colm Flynn has the incredible story.

An Irish World War II Hero Narrated
Hugh O'Flaherty was an Irish Catholic priest and senior official of the Roman Curia, and significant figure in Catholic resistance to Nazism. During World War Two, the monsignor was responsible for saving 6,500 Allied soldiers and Jews. His ability to evade the traps set by the German Gestapo, earned O'Flaherty the nickname The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican. In the heart of Vatican City, amidst the chaos of World War Two, lived an Irish priest who would go on to become a symbol of hope and defiance in the face of oppression. His name was Hugh O'Flaherty. Born in County Kerry Ireland in 1898, O'Flaherty joined the priesthood at a young age and was eventually assigned to the Vatican in 1934. When World War Two broke out, O'Flaherty was faced with a difficult decision: to remain neutral ...

Sculpture of Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty Killarney Co. Kerry
On Wednesday 30th October 2013, a sculpture was unveiled to permanently commemorate the Irish World War II hero, Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, who formed the Rome Escape Line in Nazi occupied Rome. Before the liberation of Rome, this enterprising and resourceful Kerryman and his colleagues saved over 6,500 people from certain death.
The Monsignor was known throughout the world for his humanitarian work but up to recently his deeds were relatively unknown in Ireland. In 2008 a Memorial Society was formed to rectify this and today is the culmination of this work with the unveiling of a 6ft 8inch sculpture of the Monsignor at the intersection of Mission Road and Beech Road in Killarney town centre.

Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty and the Sons of Saint Patrick
After being held captive as a slave in Ireland for 6 years of his life, Saint Patrick returned to live out the rest of his life as their priest and shepherd. His sons would eventually be sent throughout the world. This is the story of one of those sons.
I highly recommend watching both "Calvary" and "The Scarlet and the Black". Phenomenal films.

Hugh O'Flaherty was an Irish Catholic priest and senior official of the Roman Curia, and significant figure in Catholic resistance to Nazism. During World War Two, the monsignor was responsible for saving 6,500 Allied soldiers and Jews. His ability to evade the traps set by the German Gestapo, earned O'Flaherty the nickname The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican. In the heart of Vatican City, amidst the chaos of World War Two, lived an Irish priest who would go on to become a symbol of hope and defiance in the face of oppression. His name was Hugh O'Flaherty. Born in County Kerry Ireland in 1898, O'Flaherty joined the priesthood at a young age and was eventually assigned to the Vatican in 1934. When World War Two broke out, O'Flaherty was faced with a difficult decision: to remain neutral or to take a stand against the Nazi regime. O'Flaherty chose the latter. He began a secret mission to help Allied soldiers and Jews escape from Nazi-occupied Rome, providing them with food, shelter, and false identities. With the help of a network of fellow priests, nuns, and local Italians, O'Flaherty saved over 6,500 people from certain death. O'Flaherty's bravery and resourcefulness knew no bounds. He even went so far as to dress up as a Nazi officer and walk through the streets of Rome, risking his own life to gather information and coordinate rescue efforts. O'Flaherty's heroic deeds did not go unnoticed. He was awarded the title of Monsignor by the Vatican and was honored by several countries for his bravery and selflessness. Hugh O'Flaherty passed away in 1963, but his legacy lives on as a shining example of courage, compassion, and humanity. His unwavering commitment to justice and freedom serves as a reminder of the power of one individual to make a difference in the world.

On Wednesday 30th October 2013, a sculpture was unveiled to permanently commemorate the Irish World War II hero, Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, who formed the Rome Escape Line in Nazi occupied Rome. Before the liberation of Rome, this enterprising and resourceful Kerryman and his colleagues saved over 6,500 people from certain death.
The Monsignor was known throughout the world for his humanitarian work but up to recently his deeds were relatively unknown in Ireland. In 2008 a Memorial Society was formed to rectify this and today is the culmination of this work with the unveiling of a 6ft 8inch sculpture of the Monsignor at the intersection of Mission Road and Beech Road in Killarney town centre.
Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, another maverick cleric with the common touch who was perhaps the most remarkable Irishman to ever serve at the Vatican.
Monsignor O’Flaherty, the son of a steward at the Killarney golf course, was fluent in Italian and German, held three doctorates and was an amateur golf champion. But his real claim to fame was as the “Vatican Pimpernel” in Nazi-occupied Rome in the second World War. As the lead behind the “Rome Escape Line”, he saved the lives of six and a half thousand prisoners of war, partisans and Jews. And he did it all with considerable panache from his HQ in of all places the German College, nestled right beside Saint Peter’s Basilica.
Despite a 1980s TV film starring Gregory Peck and honours showered on him by the Allied nations, Italy and Israel after the war, he is hardly a household name. Yet, he has been called the Irish Schindler who took on the Third Reich in a daring operation, sheltering fugitives in convents, monasteries and Italian homes.
He smuggled out Jewish people disguised as nuns and monks, passed partisans off as Swiss guards and hid the thousands of prisoners of war who flocked to him on the steps of St Peter’s. They were seeking the sanctuary of the church at a time when Hitler recognised the Vatican’s neutrality, all under the noses of Nazi guards. He was also fond of the odd disguise himself – once as a coalman to evade a Nazi raid on a palazzo. He was even rumoured to have dressed as a nun.
His story is one of humanity against oppression, where “God has no country” in his striking phrase.
