  Jozef Tiso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monsignor Jozef Tiso (October 13, 1887–April 18, 1947) was a Roman Catholic priest who became a deputy of the Czechoslovak parliament, a member of the Czechoslovak government, and finally the President World War II-era Slovak Republic when it was a Nazi puppet state.
Tiso served as the Prime Minister of independent Slovakia from March 14, 1939 until October 26, 1939.
Tiso himself - like many people in Central Europe at that time - had definite anti-Semitic views (as some of his own letters from the end of World War II suggest), but as an (active) Catholic priest he opposed violence -- even against the Jews.

Tiso was convinced he would be sent to America where he would be allowed to live on a little farm in exile.
Tiso replied that a lot of Slovaks went to Germany to work, that he wasn't interested where in Germany they went, as this was impossible to keep track of anyway, there being so many, and if some of Slovakia's Jews were sent to Auschwitz, why should that have meant anything to him...

 "People Who Deserve It": Jozef Tiso and the Presidential Exemption   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
No issue connected with these deportations, in turn, has remained more controversial than the role of the president of the 1939-1945 Slovak State, the Roman Catholic priest, populist, nationalist, and anti-Semite, Jozef Tiso.
As president, Tiso had the power to exempt Jews from deportation; the estimates of how many exemptions he granted, however, range between 300 and 40,000.
Basing my results on a reconstructed 1942 census of Jews, I conclude that far from being a protector of Jews, Tiso exempted no more than a fraction of those who were threatened by deportation.
