Views
Pawlikowski has been critical of John Cornwell's book Hitler's Pope,[3][4] a scathing representation of the record of Pope Pius XII and the Vatican during the Holocaust. Pawlikowski characterized Cornwall's book as "full of exaggerated claims and deceptions," "a work of deeply flawed scholarship" that "presents only the evidence that suggests [Cornwall's] predetermined view."[5] Other scholars have expressed similar judgments about the quality of Cornwall's book.[6]
