Summary
The International Committee of the Red Cross (CICR) had ample knowledge of the persecution and, later, the extermination of the Jews. The CICR refrained from interfering in the issue of Jewish refugees due to fear of "political implications", and in the issue of political and racial prisoners in the concentration camps due to reluctance to "interfere in internal affairs" and the Nazis' refusal to cooperate. Denounces the German Red Cross for siding with the Nazi authorities and the SS instead of helping victims. Pp. 212-314 give an account, country by country, of the CICR's efforts to assist deported Jews, stating that the organization, like the Vatican, did not formally condemn the Final Solution.
