Despite Hitler’s and Eichmann’s secret machinery for the deportation of Jews from the Hungarian provinces, dramatic events finally interrupted the progress of their unprecedented crimes. Although many thousands had already perished, a rescue effort saved the Jewish population of Budapest. The initiative resulted from the courageous actions of networks within Hungary and Switzerland. The Auschwitz Report, the detailed revelations of two Slovak escapees, revealed to them the truth about the deportations. They took dangerous risks by aggressively challenging the power of the Nazi extermination program.
