Pope's "repentance" for Holocaust

September 07, 2007

Speaking to journalists during the flight to Vienna, the German-born Pope said the Church wanted to show its friendship for its Jewish brothers. After arriving in Vienna, Benedict held a silent remembrance for Austrian victims of the Holocaust with Vienna's Chief Rabbi. He also received a rainy welcome from pilgrims at Am Hof square in the centre of the city. Joanna Partridge reports for Reuters
