Abstract:
States that the Vrba-Wetzler "Auschwitz Protocol" describing the extermination of Hungarian Jews at Birkenau was kept secret for many months before being made public. Due to Allied war security, the Vatican received the April protocol only in October 1944, but the Vatican's representative in Bern, Monsignor Martillotti, met Vrba and Wetzler in Bratislava in June 1944. Discusses, also, the role of Swiss censorship in preventing the news of the extermination from being published in the Swiss press until after August 1944, on the grounds that the information was "false and non verifiable".
