This is the true story of one man's efforts to bring horrific news
of the Nazi genocide to the Swiss public and to the rest of the
world. Armed with this information, prominent Swiss church leaders
and theologians condemned the unfolding Holocaust from their
pulpits, spurring large public demonstrations.
In 400 articles appearing in 120 newspapers, Mantello reached
opinion makers throughout the world community. International
pressure halted the Hungarian deportations, and Mantello
distributed thousands of Salvadoran citizenship papers to Jews in
Nazi-occupied territories.
In addition to Mantello's role, Kranzler shows how Swiss
theologians such as Karl Barth and Paul Vogt mobilized thousands of
Christians against the Germans and against the indifference of the
Swiss government and the International Red Cross. This fresh look
at the intersection of politics and religion also allows for a new
assessment of Swiss complicity in the crimes of the Nazi Third
Reich.
