Vatican archivist Giovanni Coco told the Corriere that the importance of the letter was"enormous, a unique case" because it showed the Vatican had information that labour camps were actually death factories. Asked by the Corriere interviewer if the letter showed that Pius knew, Coco said:"Yes, and not only from then."The letter made reference to two other Nazi camps - Auschwitz and Dachau - and suggested that there were other missives between Koenig and Leiber that either have gone missing or have not yet been found.
Suzanne Brown-Fleming, director of International Academic Programs at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, told Reuters in an email that the release showed that the Vatican was taking seriously Pope Francis' statement that"the Church is not afraid of history" when he ordered the wartime archives opened in 2019.
