Description
The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation by Roger Moorhouse. In 1940-1943, a remarkable humanitarian operation took place in Switzerland, led by Polish diplomats and Jewish activists. Under their leadership, thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust were saved through forged identity documents smuggled into German-occupied Europe. This book tells the story of this extraordinary rescue mission for the first time, following the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these life-saving documents and witnessing the quiet heroism of those who decided to act.
