Abstract:
Presents cases of some Jews who left Poland after the outbreak of World War II; after June 1940 the Jews could no longer leave the country. Focuses on a case of two brothers (Marian and Dawid Sztejnberg) and of a couple (Chawa and Szlama Hochglob). They left Poland in April 1940 and traveled through Germany to Switzerland after receiving Swiss visas in Berlin. At the border the group was arrested and their visas checked. It became evident that the visas obtained in Berlin for a big sum of money were false. The Jews were arrested and sent back to the General Government. They were imprisoned and later interned in the Warsaw ghetto. Marian Sztejnberg died there and the fate of the others is not known, but they did not survive the war. Comments on Swiss policy towards Jewish refugees, and the Swiss border police's collaboration with the Gestapo. The policy differed from region to region. The possibility to remain in Switzerland as refugees was greater in the Geneva canton than in other regions.
