Hugh O’Flaherty, from Lisrobin, Kiskeam, County Cork, was ordained on 20th December 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. When Germany occupied Rome in 1943, O’Flaherty and some like-minded friends hid Jews and Allied soldiers from the Nazis. 1/2
