Dutch author Jan Brokken reveals the remarkable story of how one consul and his allies helped save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in his gripping book
The Just, which is published today.
Translated by David McKay, the story reveals how in May 1940, Jewish refugees in Kaunas, the capital of Lithuania, faced annihilation until an ordinary Dutch man became their saviour.
Over a period of ten feverish days, Jan Zwartendijk, the newly appointed Dutch consul, wrote thousands of visas that would ostensibly allow Jews to travel to the Dutch colony of Curaçao on the other side of the world.
