The forgers : the forgotten story of the Holocaust's most audacious rescue operation
Moorhouse, Roger2023
Books, Manuscripts
Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable - and until now, completely unknown - humanitarian operation. In concert with Jewish activists, they masterminded a systematic programme of forging passports and identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust. 'The Forgers' tells this extraordinary story.
