Commemorative plaque unveiled to honor Msgr. Hugh
O'Flaherty whose heroism was portrayed by Gregory Peck in the movie ‘The
Scarlet and the Black’. An Irish priest who saved thousands of Allied soldiers and Jews in
World War Two and whose heroism was turned into a Hollywood movie has
finally been honored at the Vatican.
A plaque to honor Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty, who was instrumental in helping to rescue and protect an estimated 6,000 vulnerable people in Rome during the war, was unveiled on Sunday at a ceremony in the Campo Santo Teutonico within the Vatican walls. Sunday also happened to be the 71st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.
