About Children's Jews who, during the 'German occupation,were entrusted to Catholic institutions and families and arenow claimed by Jewish institutions because they arereturned, the Congregation of the Sant' Office has made adecision that goes something like this :

1) Avoid, as far as possible to respond in writing to Jewish

authorities, but do it orally

2) Each time you must answer, we must say that the Churchshould do his research to study each particular case

3) Children who have been baptized can not be entrusted toinstitutions that do not know how to ensure the 'Christian

education

4) Children who no longer have parents and the Church ofwhich s' is done loading, it is not proper that they beabandoned by the Church itself or entrusted to people whohave no rights over them, unless they are able to dispose ofhimself. This course for children who had not been baptized

5) If the children were assigned (the Church) from theirparents if the parents reclaim them now, will be returned, ifthe children themselves have not been baptized. Note thatthis decision of the Congregation of the Sant 'Office hasbeen approved by the Holy Father.
