In the book Perfidy Ben Hecht claims that the Jews could have been saved by leaving Hungary for Roumania if Kastner warned them .This is historically incorrect as Roumania was a ally of Nazi Germany underAntonescu till 23August 1944.Eliezer Wolff Har HomaJerusalem
2 people actually escaped one of the camps and came back to Hungary and told them what was going on. Nobody believes them. Would anyone have believed kastner?
No one believed what was going on because it made no sense. Widespread prison and slave labour? Okay, it helps Germany's war effort. But devoting resources to murdering people when they were needed against the allies? Ridiculous!
