Hitler's secret bankers : how Switzerland profited from Nazi genocide
Relates how Swiss banks profited from the Nazi genocide, based on interviews with survivors, archives on three continents, and recently declassified intelligence reports. Presents evidence of Swiss economic collaboration in laundering Nazi money, accepting looted gold, and providing funds vital for the Nazi war effort. Swiss diplomats and the Swiss-based International Red Cross are implicated in channeling money to Switzerland. Swiss neutrality is shown to have been a myth, at least economically. States that without the Swiss contribution to the Nazi regime, World War II could have ended several years earlier. Until 1996 Swiss banks and the country itself considered themselves unaccountable. Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-335) and index. xxv, 352 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm
