Beschrijving
Could more have been done to save Hungary's 1-million Jews from being murdered by the Nazis in World War II? The situation was complicated by the Allies' self-interest and indifference: Britain placed strict limits on Jewish immigration into Palestine,and the US also imposed harsh barriers against the admission of Jewish refugees. Joel Brand and Hungary's Regent, Admiral Horthy, began equivocal negotiations with Adolf Eichmann and Heinrich Himmler to exchange Jews for goods and/or money, dealings which remain controversial to this day.
