Rolf Hochhuth (German: [ʁɔlf ˈhoːxˌhuːt] ^ⓘ; 1 April 1931 – 13 May 2020)^[1] was a German author and playwright, best known for his 1963 drama The Deputy, which insinuates Pope Pius XII's indifference to Hitler's extermination of the Jews, and he remained a controversial figure both for his plays and other public comments and for his 2005 defense of British Holocaust denier David Irving.
