I have been waiting for this book for decades. The heroic escape to Shanghai during the Holocaust is the least known chapter of the Holocaust experience. Steve Hochstadt, the author of Exodus to Shanghai, does not merely cite statistic but provides a face to this remarkable experience. The author is to be commended for including a superb bibliography of primary and secondary sources, films, maps, charts, and photos. If there is one book to read about the Jewish experience in Shanghai, this is the one." - The Jewish Book Council

The reason I am giving this oddity 3 stars is not because of the quality of the acting or direction or writing - pretty dire at times on all 3 counts. It is because it is a real oddity, a curiosity based on the tiniest thinnest sliver of truth in film history perhaps?

Bernadotte's other uncle, Prince Carl, was chairman of the Swedish Red Cross but was more than eighty years old. This meant that to all intents and purposes Bernadotte became the operative head of Red Cross activities. As such he played a central rôle in the humanitarian efforts being made in war-ravaged Europe. For geographical reasons Sweden and Switzerland, when it came to humanitarian work, were the only two neutral countries that had any real clout in acting between the two alliances waging war in Europe. The Republic of Ireland, Portugal and Turkey were geographically too peripheral. Since Sweden and Switzerland were both neutral nations, their formal state institutions were unable to intervene in certain issues. They therefore handed over operations to humanitarian organisations, principally the Red Cross units in each respective country. The Swiss Red Cross was in a less favourable position than its fellow organisation in Sweden.

An extended interview with Polish resistance fighter Jan Karski, consisting largely of footage gathered for but not included in Claude Lanzmann's epic 9-hour documentary Shoah. In addition to his dyslexia and his incurable illness, however, Bernadotte also experienced other personal tragedies. Two of his children died suddenly at a young age. His wife later related how, on the death of his elder son Gustav, Folke said: 'We weren't brought into this world to be happy but rather to make others happy.' He realised that his personality was more suitable for humanitarian work; this is partly why he became chairman of the Swedish Scout Association in 1937 and vice-chairman of the Swedish Red Cross organisation in 1943.

Features Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon's plan to provide refuge for Jews fleeing from Nazi Germany. At a time when the Nazis were hanging on desperately for survival, and while chaos reigned in Germany, Count Folke Bernadotte, along with the Swedish Red Cross and the Danish government, conducted negotiations with Heinrich Himmler. Between them they successfully engineered the release and transport of prisoners from concentration camps to a neutral country – Sweden. When the Second World War broke out in Europe Bernadotte was in the United States. According to his own account he had been appointed by a group of prominent Swedes to organise and finance a voluntary body to aid Finland in its war with the Soviet Union. This project collapsed when the two countries declared an armistice in March 1940. Following the German occupation of Norway and Denmark on 9 April 1940, Bernadotte was mobilised into the Swedish army. Promoted to major, he was in charge of the army's recreational section and internment camps for people coming from countries engaged in warfare. This latter field of activity brought him the responsibility for the exchange of prisoners – British and American for German – carried out in Gothenburg in south-west Sweden in 1943 and 1944. His attempts at arranging similar exchanges of prisoners between Germany and the Soviet Union met with no success, however. This was because the Germans did not consider themselves bound by the Geneva Convention regulations concerning the treatment of prisoners of war since the Soviet Union had never ratified the Convention.

Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis Count Folke Bernadotte of Wisborg was born in 1895. His father, Prince Oscar Bernadotte, was the second son of Oscar II, king of Sweden between 1872 and 1907, and also king of Norway from 1872 until the two countries separated in 1905. Sweden's king from 1907 to 1950 was, then, Folke Bernadotte's uncle.Bernadotte himself would later characterise his upbringing as strict. The home environment was fraught with gravity and piety. The children were taught early on the virtues of obedience, punctuality and honesty. Folke was not of an intellectual disposition, and suffered from difficulties in reading and writing. The term 'dyslexia' was relatively unknown at this time, and a proper understanding of this handicap was probably all but non-existent. He passed his final school-leaving examinations with difficulty. He had a gift for languages, however, and learnt fluent English, German and French. Following his graduation he became an officer and gained a reputation as a competent horseman and organiser. Nevertheless, he was to suffer from ill-health at an early age, and in 1930 was forced to leave the army with the rank of captain. For the rest of his life he would have to put up with gastric ulcers and a regular series of treatment with vitamins.
