Abstract:
"On December 7th, 1944, 1352 Hungarian Jews arrived in Switzerland from the German camp Bergen-Belsen, near Celle (Hanover). The Rescue Department of the World Jewish Congress is in the position to put at our disposal the complete list of the Jews who were saved, and we are publishing this list for the benefit of our readers. The representatives of the World Jewish Congress in Geneva have been instrumental in saving this important consignment of Hungarian Jews."
