-----------
In the heart of wartime Rome, an Irish priest Hugh O’Flaherty risked everything to save thousands from certain death. O’Flaherty masterminded a secret escape line in the Vatican, outwitting the Gestapo and providing a lifeline to prisoners of war, Jews, and others fleeing persecution.
The story of how this unassuming priest became one of World War II’s most remarkable heroes is remarkable.
