Under His Very Windows: The Vatican and the Holocaust in Italy

Under His Very Windows: The Vatican and the Holocaust in Italy (2000, Yale University Press) is a book by Susan Zuccotti.

It describes the actions of the Vatican and Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust, claiming the Church stayed neutral even with the full knowledge of the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis. The book details what the author perceives as the Catholic Church's anti-Semitic bias ranging from Jesuit publications to contemporary accounts by survivors of death camps.

In 2002, the book won the National Jewish Book Award, in the category of Jewish-Christian Relations, and in 2002, the Sybil Halpern Milton Prize presented by the German Studies Association.
