Swiss citizens in Hitler’s death camps

For too long, Switzerland has ignored the fact that countless Swiss were also imprisoned and killed in Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. Now the country has started to remember these victims of the Holocaust. The Organisation of the Swiss Abroad is committed to ensuring that these people are not forgotten.

This dossier contains relevant “Swiss Review” articles on Switzerland’s Holocaust victims as well as additional sources of information.
