I finally got to watching Costa-Gavras's movie "Amen" (2002) based on a famous play from the 1960s.
The movie is about the complete indifference of the Catholic and Protestant Churches to help Jews who were being gassed.
The movie follows an SS officer and then one Jesuit priest who are trying to alert the Christian clergy of what is happening so that they tell the people who would then mobilize and perhaps stop it all, even reaching Pius XII, but as you know from history, it was all deaf ears.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
