Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Charles “Carl” Lutz was appointed as the Swiss vice-consul in Budapest, Hungary, in 1942. Following the Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944 in which Jews started to be sent to concentration camps, Lutz negotiated an agreement with the Nazis to allow 8,000 Jews to leave the country. However, Lutz intentionally misinterpreted the agreement, allowing not 8,000 people, but 8,000 families to be issued protective letters to be able to move. He had already used his power and status to help 10,000 children emigrate to Palestine the year before. Lutz and his wife Gertrude also helped free Jews from death marches and deportation centers. They are credited with saving more than 62,000 Hungarian Jews from certain death. (Photo credit: Smithsonian Magazine)
