Pope Pays Homage to Holocaust Victims

Pope Benedict XVI pledged to remember the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust on Monday, as he sought to repair strains created by his decision to lift the excommunication of a bishop who denied the genocide took place.
Other tensions dated back even further to the Vatican's wartime legacy. The pope said said the cry of the victims "still echoes in our hearts" as he paid his respects during an emotional ceremony at Israel's national Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem.
