问题     Early that June Pius XII secretly addressed the Sacred College of Cardinals on the extermination of the Jews. "Every word We address to the competent authority on this subject, and all Our public utterances, he said in explanation of his reluctance to express more open condemnation, "have to be carefully weighed and measured 15 by us in the interest of the victims themselves, lest, contrary to our intentions, We make their situation worse and harder to bear. " He did not add that another’ reason for proceeding cautiously was that he regarded Bolshevism as a far greater danger than Nazism.
    The position of the Holy See was deplorable but it was an offense of omission rather than com-mission. The Church, under the Pope s guidance, had already saved the lives of more Jews than all other churches, religious institutions, and rescue organizations combined, and was presently hiding thousands of Jews in monasteries, convents, and Vatican City itself. The record of the Allies was far more shameful. The British and Americans, despite lofty pronouncements, had not only avoided taking any meaningful action but gave sanctuary to few persecuted Jews. The Moscow Declaration of that year—signed by Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin—methodically listed Hitler’s victims as Polish, Italian, French, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Soviet, and Cretan. The curious omission of Jews (a policy emulated by the U. S. Office of War Information) was protested vehemently but uselessly by the World Jewish Congress. By the simple expedient of converting the Jews of Poland into Poles, and so on, the Final Solution was lost in the Big Three’ s general classification of Nazi terrorism.
    Contrasting with their reluctance to face the issue of systematic Jewish extermination was the forthrightness and courage of the Danes, who defied German occupation by transporting to Sweden almost every one of their 6 500 Jews; of the Finns, allies of Hitler, who saved all but four of their 4 000 Jews; and of the Japanese, another ally, who provided refuge in Manchuria for some 5 000 wandering European Jews in recognition of financial aid given by the Jewish firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company during the Russian—Japanese War of 1904-1905.
"The Allies" refers to_____.
选项 A、Britain, the Soviet Union, and the U. S.A.
B、the Polish, Italians, etc
C、the Jews
D、something that cannot be determined by the text
答案A
解析 根据文章第二段内容”The Moscow Declaration of that year--signed by Roosevelt，Churchill，and Stalin”可知，莫斯科宣言由罗斯福、丘吉尔和斯大林签订。由此得出，答案是A。
