- Summary
- "Was the International Committee of the Red Cross aware of the appalling sufferings of the concentration camps? How much did it know about the deportation and extermination of the Jews in Europe? Did it try to protect the persecuted Jews? In what ways could it have helped them, given the neutrality which was the basis of its foundation? Jean-Claude Favez here presents a startling new assessment, thanks to his unrivalled access to the archives of the Red Cross."--Jacket.
