Pope to honour Holocaust victims in Austria

Pope Benedict XVI is beginning a pilgrimage to Austria today with a solemn tribute to Jewish Holocaust victims. Victims of earlier persecution will also be remembered.

After an opening ceremony at Vienna's lavish Am Hof square, the pope was to join the capital's chief rabbi at the Judenplatz, or Jewish Square, in silent tribute at an austere memorial to Jewish victims of pogroms through the ages.

The spot commemorates not only the 65,000 Viennese Jews who perished in Nazi death camps, but others who were burned at the stake in the 1400s after they refused to convert.
