Switzerland. Hitler's bankers

Description

Velvel Singer died in a Nazi concentration camp, but his life's savings - 4 million dollars - went into a Swiss bank, along with the fortunes of many other Jews who perished in the Holocaust. His nephew, Ron Singer, has spent years tracking down his uncle's estate. Hitler's Banker traces Singer's story from Toronto to Washington to Zurich, and looks at how the Swiss have had to come to terms with their past - a past many of them would rather forget.
