Gary Krupp poses for a picture in his home in Long Beach, N.Y., Monday, March 8, 2010. Krupp, who is Jewish, says he grew up hating Pope Pius XII and his actions during World War II. Now, at 62, the retired Long Island businessman is caught up in the controversy over the Vatican's effort to make Pius a saint. He says that as a Jew he's not interested in the sainthood issue, he just wants to defend the wartime pope's reputation from 'the worst character assassination of the 20th century.' (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)AP - In the long and painful debate over whether he should have done more to halt the murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators in World War II, Pope Pius XII has an unusual defender.
