"This book is the first to use the new archival sources to examine the record of the 'free world' during the Nazi persecution and mass murder of the Jews, and ask why so little was done to help the Jews. Acclaimed historians and new researchers from round the world reveal how much Britain, the SUA, Switzerland, and Sweden knew about the fate of the Jews and explains why only a few, exceptional individuals understood the catastrophe that was unfolding." -- BOOK JACKET.
