Major rescue networks were centered in Genoa under the
leadership of the Jesuit Cardinal Pietro Boetto, who worked closely with the
Jewish emigration agency DELASEM, and in Milan under the
leadership of a Jesuit priest who served as Cardinal Schuster's head of the office of
religious assistance.
In the last analysis, Lubavitch's menorah campaign is an expression of that organization's impatient mode of
Jewish messianism and its triumphalist agenda and goal of seizing the mantle of
religious leadership in the
Jewish world today.
