Many other Jewish tributes to Pius came in the years just preceding, and in the immediate aftermath, of the pontiff’s death. In 1955, when Italy celebrated the tenth anniversary of its liberation, the Union of Italian Jewish Communities proclaimed April 17 a day of gratitude for the pope’s wartime assistance in defying the Nazis. Dozens of Italian Catholics, including several priests and nuns, were awarded gold medals for their outstanding rescue work during the war.

A few weeks later, on May 26, 1955, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra flew to Rome to give a special performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony at the Vatican’s Consistory Hall, expressing the State of Israel’s enduring gratitude for the help that the pope and the Catholic Church had given to the Jewish people.
