For a fuller treatment of the subject, see The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis, a book written by Rabbi (that's right...RABBI) David G. Dalin.
Also of note is that the 35-year-tenured chief rabbi of Rome, Israel Zolli, converted to Catholicism in large part because of Pius XII's treatment of him and other Jews during WWII. In so doing, he also took the name Eugenio Maria in honor of Pius. Quite an interesting subject...
