Executive summary: Holocaust historian Military service: Israeli Defense Forces (1951-53) Historian Saul Friedländer is an expert on Nazism and the Third Reich. In his best known works, he helped expose Pope Pius XII's cooperation with Hitler, examined the life of conscience-stricken SS member Kurt Gerstein, and headed an inquiry into Bertelsmann's interactions with the Nazi government. Friedländer's perspective is informed from personal experience: His parents were among the murdered at Auschwitz, but before their capture they hid their young son in a Catholic school, under the false name Paul-Henri Ferland.
