Pope John Paul II Meets Holocaust Survivors At Yad Vashem

Yes of course he can still pray for them,

I am not Catholic, but I think that JP2 was a great man. I was especially moved when the announcer in this video said that he carried one of the survivors when she was a little girl to the train station, so that she could get help.
dzienkuje bardzo, Father.

I'm forever grateful for the wonderful Pope John Paul.

what an extraordinary man

I don't know Pope John Paul ii's history, and I don't really care. During times of war, it is human to do what you have to in order to survive.
I'm not Catholic, I'm not even religeous, but I was a fan of John Paul ii. I remember that whenever Pope John Paul ii got off of a plane, he always kissed the ground, (a very humble jesture IMO) and he always had the most scerene, warm and contented smile I have ever seen on anyone.

After the war, the Papal State continued to show it's sympathies towards one of Europe's most bloodthirsty rulers: When Pavelic died in Spain in 1959, he received a special blessing from Pope John XXIII on his deathbed. This for a man whose murderous regime had it's own way of dealing with the so-called "final solution": To "kill a third" of the Jews, Serbs and Roma people of Yugoslavia, "deport a third" to the concentration camps, and "convert a third" to Roman Catholicism.

pope john Paul 2 hid under a bed when the Nazis invaded Poland

What do you expect him to do.. all of poland did he was a child??

You have never learned history didnt you? Warsaw in Poland was a nazi nightmare, fights and upraising all the time, comparing to france or netherlands that capituled straight away

kaka: Typical stupid comment from an American who doesn't know anything.
