This volume tells for the first time the courageous story of Carl Lutz , the Swiss diplomat who single-handedly rescued 62,000 Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps -- a daring action now recognized as the largest, most successful rescue effort ever undertaken in Nazi-dominated Europe.For over fifty years this dramatic story has remained dormant in government archives and among family papers. Finally now available in English, this carefully researched biography tells how Lutz, as Swiss Consul in Budapest from 1942 to 1945, defied diplomatic rules and conventions by issuing protective papers for tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews destined for the death camps. Dangerous Diplomacy recounts Lutz's selfless odyssey with compelling writing complemented by a 16-page photo section.
