The Pope specifically denounced Marxism, but made nothing but vague references to Nazism or the deportations of Jews.

The historical question is why was the Pope so vague?
Answers range from allegations of "Hitler's Pope" to my theory, which is that the Church itself was held hostage, often in the same death camps used to exterminate Jews, and the Pope's silence was necessary to buy protection, or at least life, for clergy and other Christians.
