- Summary
- Examines the cooperation of Swiss banks with Nazi Germany, emphasizing Switzerland's role as financier of the Third Reich. Although pretending to be neutral, Switzerland actually helped and supported the Nazi regime, and accepted its dictates. Switzerland profited from Germany's war policy, maintaining relative independence and avoiding occupation. Criticizes the criminal behavior of Swiss bankers after the war; they pretended not to have known about Jewish accounts because they were inactive, although the accounts were balanced every year. No Swiss bank tried, on its own initiative, to find the heirs of dormant accounts. Includes a chapter by Richard Chaim Schneider, "Die Schweiz will vom Dritten Reich nichts wissen" (pp. 227-265), on the discovery in 1995 of the Swiss bank scandal regarding the dormant accounts.
