JOINT TEAM OF JEWISH-CATHOLIC SCHOLARS IN ROME

VATICAN CITY, OCT 26, 2000 (VIS) - Joaquin Navarro-Valls, Holy See Press Office director, released the following declaration yesterday in mid-afternoon:

"The Joint Team of Jewish and Catholic Scholars, which was set up in 1999 by the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews and the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Dialogue, is in Rome to present a preliminary report on their study of the eleven volumes of Church archival material covering World War II, published by the Holy See.

"Their report expresses positive appreciation for the material made available from the archives and indicates in summary form the foundation for future study. In a series of questions the scholars indicate areas in which they consider progress in this regard would require further documentation."
