Why were the Nazis so successful in deporting Jews? Why did
families such as Anne Frank's get turned in? Investigative
journalist Ad van Liempt pulls back the curtain on the shocking
practice of Dutch bounty hunters of the Jews, and reveals that
ordinary citizens were prepared to turn over their Jewish
countrymen in exchange for cash.Van Liempt examines in great detail
the careers of bounty hunters and describes some particularly
horrifying cases. The most gripping are those involving young
children. In one case, two bounty hunters traveled hundreds of
miles to get their hands on a two-year-old girl living in a safe
house; a month later she was gassed at Sobibor. In court, the
bounty hunters consistently maintained that they received no
premiums for their work, but the author shows the opposite to be
true and traces the money involved.This haunting book uncovers a
facet of the Holocaust that has previously been largely neglected
and brings to light the day-to-day workings of the persecution of
the Jews.
