Part of the series, The Holocaust, this is another powerful accounting of exactly what took place during the mid-thirties to mid-forties in Germany. One of the most interesting things that I learned from this book was that the Nazis had secret networks called "ratlines" where thousands of Nazis were smuggled to South America and more specifically, Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
Nazis were helped to escape by other countries, as well; countries that hoped their help would never be discovered. These countries included Switzerland and the Vatican, both of which were supposed to be neutral in the war.
In 1947, the US State Dept. described the Vatican as "the largest single organization involved in the illegal movement of immigrants -- smuggling Nazis".
