They used convents, farms and even flats beside the SS headquarters. When Rome was liberated, 6,425 of O’Flaherty’s escapees were still alive. 2/2

Hugh O’Flaherty was born on 28th February 1898 in Lisrobin, Kiskeam, County Cork. He was ordained in 1925 and posted to the Vatican. Early in the war he visited POW camps and then used Radio Vatican to pass on word of prisoners to their relatives. 1/2
