'I suppose you know who I am? I was in charge of the actions in
Germany and Poland and Czechoslovakia. I am prepared to sell you
one million Jews: Goods for blood ... Blood for goods.' These were
the chilling words uttered by one of the most notorious Nazi
bureaucrats, SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann, to a young Jewish
businessman called Joel Brand in the spring of 1944. Brand embarked
on a desperate mission to persuade the Allies to barter with
Eichmann - and failed. At the same time, the SS deported hundreds
of thousands of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz-Birkenau packed in
cattle trains. The majority were gassed, then incinerated. For
decades after 1945, many blamed the Allies for callously abandoning
a million Hungarian Jews to their fate. In Deception, Christopher
Hale presents a new account of the 'Brand Mission' based on
evidence in the national archives of Germany, Hungary, Britain and
the United States. Hale reveals that Eichmann's offer formed one
part of a monstrous deception designed to outwit the leaders of the
last surviving Jewish community in Europe. The deception was more
complex and - from the German point of view - more successful than
any operation mounted by the secret services of the Allied
governments.
