Holocaust Refugee Children, Switzerland

Overview

The official policy was to limit the tide of incoming refugees in Switzerland. As of 13 August 1942, a Swiss Federal Council ruling stipulated that persons fleeing for racial reasons could not be considered as political refugees. However, children under 16 years of age could not be repelled at the frontier.

Approximately 1,100 children passed the Franco-Swiss border between February 1943 and July 1944.

Around 1,000 additional children came trough the Italo-Swiss border, out of 6,000 refugees from Italy.

Most children arrived in Switzerland illegally, but some did it legally on board on the Kastner Train.
