Steven,
Many thanks for opening the door to a consideration of the Catholic contribution to the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust. The historical record of individual Catholics and the contributions of the institutional level of the Church are rich and well documented. I offer a small but potent bibliography for any with deeper interest.
First, one historical correction: Oskar Schindler was Roman Catholic.
Israeli diplomat and Consul in Italy, Pinchas Lapide chronicled the extraordinary growth in Catholic Jewish relations from the 1930′s to 1967, the year he published, “Three Popes and the Jews” In the book, he tells of Pope Pius XII’s efforts and those of the future Popes John XXIII and Paul VI as Cardinals under Pius during the War He concluded:
“The Catholic Church saved more Jewish lives during the war than all other churches, religious institutions and rescue organizations put together.”
Then, there is the detailed book by Rabbi David G. Dalin:
“The Myth of Hitler’s Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews From the Nazis,” by Rabbi David G. Dalin, (Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, Inc, 2005).
The Polish Educational Foundation of North America has compiled a 273 page (pdf) non-comprehensive selection of Jewish survivors’ testimony (2007) of the efforts of Priests, Monks and Nuns in over 900 Roman Catholic Church Institutions by several times that number of those who staffed them. Several hundred additional cases have yet to be added to this work. It may be accessed at:

A good online article:
Pius XII and the Holocaust, By Thomas Craughwell:
http://www.cfpeople.org/Apologetics/page51a014.html
Consider a representative selection:
“In all, some 40,000 Jews throughout Italy were saved from the Nazis. Fourteen years after the liberation of Rome by the Allies, an officer of the Jewish Brigade was quoted in Davar, the Hebrew daily of Israel’s Federation of Labor: ‘When we entered Rome, the Jewish survivors told us with a voice filled with deep gratitude and respect: If we have been rescued; if Jews are still alive in Rome come with us and thank the Pope in the Vatican. For in the Vatican proper, in churches, monasteries and private homes, Jews were kept hidden at his personal orders…. Even on the synagogue near the Tiber he had his papal seal imprinted, and that was respected even by the Nazis.’
MORE PERIOD COMMENTARY FROM THOSE WHO WERE THERE:
The New York Times editorial on December 25, 1941 (Late Day edition, p. 24):
“??The voice of Pius XII is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness enveloping Europe this Christmas… he is about the only ruler left on the Continent of Europe who dares to raise his voice at all… the Pope put himself squarely against Hitlerism… he left no doubt that the Nazi aims are also irreconcilable with his own conception of a Christian peace.??”
Also The New York Times editorial on December 25, 1942 (Late Day edition, p. 16) states:?? “This Christmas more than ever he is a lonely voice crying out of the silence of a continent… Pope Pius expresses as passionately as any leader on our side the war aims of the struggle for freedom when he says that those who aim at building a new world must fight for free choice of government and religious order. They must refuse that the state should make of individuals a herd of whom the state disposes as if they were lifeless things.”
The New York Times on the liberation of Rome:
“Under the Pope’s direction the Holy See did an exemplary job of sheltering and championing the victims of the Nazi-Fascist regime. I have spoken to dozens of Italians, both Catholics and Jews, who owe their liberty and perhaps their lives to the protection of the Church.”
Chief Rabbi of Rome:
Rabbi Israel Zolli in 1945 converted to Catholicism with his wife, and in honor of all the Pope did for the Jews during the War took Pius XII’s name, Eugenio and had the Pope as his Godfather.
Chief Rabbi Herzog of Palestine:
“The people of Israel will never forget what his Holiness and his illustrious delegates are doing for us unfortunate brothers and sisters in the most tragic hour of our history.”
FDR:
“I should like to take this occasion to express to His Holiness my deeply-felt appreciation of the frequent action which the Holy See has taken to render assistance to the victims of racial and religious persecutions.” –August 3, 1945
Again Steven, many thanks and God’s Blessings upon you and your family.

A typo. The quote from FDR was 1944, not August of 1945. He was dead by then. RIP FDR.
All the Best.

One last addendum to the post above.
In the interest of giving the WWII Jews back their voice, a voice stolen from them in the 1960’s when false witness against Pope Pius XII (and by extension, against the WWII Jews’ testimonials) became fashionable, here they are in their own words.

MORE NOTABLE QUOTES:
Albert Einstein- Time Magazine, December 23, 1940:
“Being a lover of freedom, when the revolution came in Germany, I looked to the universities to defend it, knowing that they had always boasted of their devotion to the cause of truth; but, no, the universities immediately were silenced. Then I looked to the great editors of the newspapers whose flaming editorials in days gone by had proclaimed their love of freedom; but they, like the universities, were silenced in a few short weeks…Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler’s campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly.”
Moshe Sharett, Later First Israeli Foreign Minister (April 1945):
” . . I told him [the Pope] that my first duty was to thank him , and through him, the Catholic Church, on behalf of the Jewish public, for all they had done in the various countries to rescue Jews, to save children, and Jews in general.”
Golda Meir, Israeli Foreign (October 1958):
“When fearful martyrdom came to our people, the voice of the pope was raised for its victims.”
Pinchas E. Lapide, Three Popes and the Jews (1967):
“. . . the Catholic Church, under the pontificate of Pope Pius XII was instrumental in saving at least 700,000, but probably as many as 860,000, Jews from certain death at Nazi hands.”
Rabbi David G. Dalin, The Weekly Standard, February 26, 2001:
“. . . Pius XII was, genuinely and profoundly, a righteous gentile.”
Zenit news:
http://www.zenit.org/article-12040?l=english
“No one knows exactly how many Jews were hidden and saved by the Church, but according to “Three Popes and the Jews” by Jewish historian Emilio Pinchas Lapide, then consul general in Milan, “the Holy See, the nuncios, and the Catholic Church saved between 740,000 and 850,000 Jews from certain death.” It is estimated that more than 80% of the Jews in Italy escaped the Nazi genocide. In Rome alone, the Jewish community has certified that the Church saved 4,447 Jews from the Holocaust.”
Kenneth Woodward, Newsweek (March 30, 1998):
“In his 1942 Christmas message, which The New York Times among others extolled, the pope became the first figure of international stature to condemn what was turning into the Holocaust.”
