From the end of 1942 to  the sixth  of June, 1944, the convents and monasteries of Rome gave shelter to Jewish refugees.  There were books written: Salvati dai conventi: “Hidden in the Convent,” by Antonio Gaspari, and La resistenza in vonvento: “The Resistance in the Convent,” by Enzo Forcella. “The risk of being discovered was always very high and the fears became stronger when the news spread of the SS raid on the Benedictine convent of St. Paul’s,” wrote the  Augustinian nuns
