The Cold War era represents one of the most complex periods in the history of international relations. In this context, the Holy See has played an important and delicate role from many points of view, having carried out a commitment in the humanitarian field of relief to Jews and political refugees, political, diplomatic. Particularly important was the European commitment of the Holy See, also in relation to the identification of the future structure (that is, following the end of the war) of Europe, in which the role of Christianity should have been important. The essay is a summary of the presentation of the volume which will be published shortly on the same topic.
