Also, I have to say that the characterization of Switzerland in the opening sentence of this post is vile.

Swiss neutrality was a recognized feature of European reality long before World War II. No one tried to garrison troops there or cross Swiss territory during the conflict, not even Hitler. Every able-bodied Swiss male was in the army, and any interference would have been stoutly resisted. Much as the free Swiss have decided they don’t want minarets today.

As for handing over Jews, so did every country in Europe save Albania, according to Medaura.

Of course, there were also Jews who found refuge in Switzerland. I happen to know some of their descendants.

uiuat Heluetia!
