Two shocking exposés of Nazi cruelty and international collusion from
“one of the finest investigative journalists” (The Washington
Times). Nazi Gold: The Full Story of the Fifty-Year Swiss-Nazi
Conspiracy to Steal Billions from Europe’s Jews and Holocaust
Survivors This riveting exposé reveals the shocking truth about how
the Swiss banking industry knowingly collaborated with the Third Reich
during the darkest era in modern history. With the knowledge and
acquiescence of the Swiss government, hundreds of millions of dollars
stolen from Jewish Holocaust victims were systematically hidden away
in Swiss bank accounts. For the next half century, Swiss authorities
engaged in a covert campaign of lies, subterfuge, and corruption to
hide the wealth from its rightful owners—concentration camp
survivors and the families of the slain—while freely dispensing the
illegally obtained funds to fugitive Nazis. Nazi Gold is an explosive
account of state-endorsed crimes and atrocities; of former victims
fighting courageously for their due in the face of prejudice, hatred,
and indifference; and of the dedicated US Treasury agents who worked
tirelessly for decades to right an unconscionable wrong.
“Compelling [and] carefully researched.” —The Washington Times
Klaus Barbie: The Butcher of Lyons In 1942, SS Gestapo chief
Nikolaus “Klaus” Barbie was dispatched to Nazi-occupied France
after leaving his bloodstained mark on the Netherlands. In Lyons,
Barbie was entrusted with “cleansing” the region of Jews, French
Resistance fighters, and Communists, an assignment he undertook with
sadistic cruelty. Thousands died on Barbie’s orders. Following the
D-Day invasion, Barbie fled, slaughtering all his prisoners. But the
war’s conclusion was not the end of the “Butcher of Lyons.” With
the dawning of the Cold War, Barbie went on to find a new employer:
the US intelligence services. He escaped to South America, where he
lived a free man until extradited to France to finally stand trial for
war crimes in 1983. “[A] taut, richly backgrounded story.”
