Description

In April 1986, Pope John Paul II made a historic visit to a Rome synagogue.

It was aimed at healing centuries of deep wounds between Jews and Catholics.

Giacomo Saban, who welcomed the pontiff to the synagogue, tells his story to Alan Johnston.

This programme was first broadcast in 2014.
