| Résumé: | During the Second World War, Switzerland, which remained neutral, became a hub for the main Allied intelligence service’s spying efforts against Germany and central Europe. They worked closely not only with each other, but also with their Swiss counterpart. The result was an international intelligence community that received information from all of occupied Europe through spies sent behind enemy lines and efforts along the front. As part of this influx of information, the Allies began to receive word about the persecution of the Jewish people. On their own initiative, spies that crossed the border between France and Switzerland took advantage of the opportunity to bring back refugees. In general, however, the Allied intelligence services did not actively try to gather information about the Holocaust from their position in Switzerland. |
