Abstract:
Discusses Vrba’s life story, and his and Alfred Wetzler’s escape from Birkenau. Contends that the Vrba-Wetzler report was deliberately silenced by the Slovakian Jewish leadership, by the Working Group (the underground Jewish organziation in Slovakia), and by Kasztner in Hungary. Discusses the ostracism of Vrba and Wetzler (a.k.a. Jozef Lánik) by the Israeli academic world.
