About This Item
New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers, 1999. Reprint. Second printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. rep torn out.. xvii, 294 p. Illustrations. Notes. Index. With the release of hundreds of damaging documents, a dark side of Switzerland's democracy has been unveiled. Switzerland is now seen as a nation of greedy bankers, collaborators with the Nazis, and robbers of the wealth of the victims of the Holocaust. Swiss Banks and Jewish Souls is a powerful and enlightening account of how a small and determined group of people from divergent backgrounds humbled the legendary Swiss financial empire to achieve a measure of justice for Holocaust survivors and their heirs and shattered the myth of Swiss wartime neutrality. As a result of this effort, how the world views Switzerland and how Switzerland views itself has been redefined. Most importantly, those who survived the Nazi horrors, only to be victimized again by the Swiss bankers, have now achieved some measure of justice, or at least financial compensation after more than fifty years.
