When we learned that we might have a chance to meet with Bishop Matysiak we jumped on it, as we were eager to speak with a member of the Catholic Church about the Holocaust, especially given criticism the Church has received about its limited defense of Europe's Jewish population at the time. Bishop Matysiak, however, is an example of the contrary, as is reflected in his Righteous Among the Nations award. As it turned out, our "meeting," such as it was, lasted only five minutes but proved to be among the most memorable of the trip.
