The Deputy , a Christian tragedy ( German : Der Stellvertreter . Ein christliches Trauerspiel ) , also published in English as The Representative , is a controversial 1963 play by Rolf Hochhuth which portrayed Pope Pius XII as having failed to take action or speak out against the Holocaust . It has been translated into more than twenty languages . The play 's implicit censure of a venerable if controversial pope has led to numerous counterattacks , of which one of the latest is the 2007 allegation that Hochhuth was the dupe of a KGB disinformation campaign . The Encyclopædia Britannica assesses the play as a drama that presented a critical , unhistorical picture of Pius XII and Hochhuth 's depiction of the pope having been indifferent to the Nazi genocide as lacking credible substantiation . The first English translation by Robert David MacDonald was published as The Representative , by Methuen in Britain in 1963 . In America a second translation by Richard Winston and Clara Winston was published as The Deputy by Grove in New York , 1964 . A letter from Albert Schweitzer to Hochhuth 's German publisher serves as the foreword to the US edition . A film version titled Amen . was made by the Greek-born French filmmaker Costa-Gavras in 2002 .
