This is another Swiss-bashing book (not the first one from Ziegler) to be edited. Like Hitler said "if you keep on lying about a subject, in the end people will believe you". The proof is to be found in other posts here that say the Swiss stole money from Holocaust vicitims. Well after four years of an independent investigation, it was found that less than 200 accounts worth no more than $12 million belonged to Holocaust victims. The Times of London correctly called previous claims that Swiss Banks had stolen billions from Jews, a "MYTH".

this a very complete book about the Swiss's" neutrality", they were Hitler's allied. if the were not, the war would finish in 1943!!!
but the Swiss are slack and Hitler gave them money...
I've lived 2 years in Switzerland, and there the people often criticise the Americans, they would have to read this book.

read Ziegler's others book.

I've had the shame of living 10 years in Switzerland and what do swiss people think of the period 1939-1945? Hitler didn't attack them because he was afraid of their powerfull army ready to sacrifice itself(don't laugh too hard), they saved a lot of jews at the border and they aren't hypocrits nor dishonest (as Americans are) to the point of stealing the Jews money! This is apealing!!And these poor people really think this is the truth!!
I really apreciate this book. It tells the hole truth, chapter by chapter, about how the Swiss helped Hitler. They got the idea of the yellow star on Jews' passports, they surrenderd the Jews who tried to pass the border to the Germans and they did know about the camps!!!!
As other countries resisted with courage and the few neutral countries refused nazi gold from Jews, the Swiss took it promptly. If they hadn't, the war would have stopped in 1943 at least, because how could Hitler have won the war without money? Add to this fact that nearly all swiss industries were working to give more weapons and material to the Germans.
The few courageous Swisses who resisted were killed or put into prison!
When Jews tried to take their money back, the Swiss refused simply!! This money is still in swiss banks. When they were put on trial by Americans, the swiss reacted as usual: everybody became anti-american and they still are!
I really want to thank Jean Ziegler, the courageous Swiss who wrote this book.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, BUY THIS BOOK!!!
