May his soul rest in peace.
He was a good man, what a loss.
I am Jewish and I am telling you from here that John Paul, II was a friend of the Jewish people.
I also remember his historical visit to Israel in 2000 and to Yad Va Shem- the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.
He also helped a lot to end the communism in eastern Europe that led to the end of the communism in the USSR itself. He received a huge respect from me because of that.
Yehi Zichro Baruch!
