À propos de cet audio

 The secret history of one of the largest—and least-known—rescue operations of World War II

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 program 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.

With the international community failing to act, the operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war. The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time. We follow the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these lifesaving documents as the Nazi death machine draws ever closer. And we witness the quiet heroism of a group of ordinary men who decided to do something rather than nothing and saved thousands of lives.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Once again Roger Moorhouse has produced an original and thrilling narrative which challenges several of the stereotypes about World War II. A tremendous story.”—Norman Davies, author of Vanished Kingdoms
“This is a powerful story about a group of brave individuals who found a unique way of saving Jewish lives from the Nazis. Moorhouse’s original research is characteristically scholarly, his insights illuminating, and his narrative gripping. An inspiring read and an important addition to the history of the Holocaust.”—Jonathan Dimbleby, author of Operation Barbarossa
“The Forgers is an important contribution to the way we understand international responses to the Holocaust. Powerfully told and meticulously researched, Moorhouse’s new book outlines the courageous efforts of the Ładoś Group, a circle of Polish diplomats in Switzerland who provided false documents for thousands of Jews during the Second World War in an attempt to save as many as possible from persecution and death. The Forgers is an astonishing book about one of the most ambitious rescue operations of the Holocaust.”—Katja Hoyer, author of Beyond the Wall
“The Forgers brings to light one of the largest Holocaust rescue operations in history. Moorhouse expertly tells the harrowing story of the heretofore little-known figure of Aleksander Ładoś, the top Polish diplomat in wartime Switzerland who led the effort to save thousands of European Jews desperately seeking to flee Nazi-occupied Europe by providing forged passports and identity papers for Latin American countries.”—Joshua D. Zimmerman, Yeshiva University

Half of book is about the holocaust in general: horrors, logistics. Lacks focus, development of the book's main subject. Also, if a book like this is promoted as the "Most Audacious Rescue Operation" .... when it's not really, then it sets up an expectation backlash . . .

Well researched book full of new revelations about efforts to save Jews in World War II. It was interesting to learn about the daring efforts of those in Switzerland who took great risks to issue forged passports (for South American countries) to Polish people who otherwise would have perished. This was no small operation, with an estimated 10,000 forged. I’m glad this story came to light and is being told now.
