The International Red Cross accords no official status to the Red Magen David. The Behavior of the IRC was mixed during the Holocaust. From Franco, Spain, the Jews and the Holocaust p.82. The Spanish government was sincerely interested in achieving this aim, and acted accordingly. However, the Swiss government, as well as the International Red Cross whose seat was in Geneva, virtually collaborated with the German mass murderers against this small group of Jews in Vittel. They took a rigid legal stand in order to destroy us. While the Germans recognized our passports, for their own reasons, as explained above, the Swiss government and the Red Cross, who were supposed to be guided by humanitarian motives, cast doubt on our foreign citizenship, knowing well that their attitude meant a death sentence for our group! They must therefore, bear a considerable part of reponsibility for the fate of these 173 Jews taken by the Germans from Vittel to Auschwitz, where they were all killed except for three (3) who escaped. I have also heard reports of bad behavior of the IRC during the Israeli War of Independence.
