Von 1938 bis 1939 fälschte der Schweizer Grenzkommandant Paul Grüninger die Pässe von 3.600 jüdischen Flüchtlingen, um ihnen die Einreise in die neutrale Schweiz zu erleichtern. Während er Tausende vor dem Holocaust rettete, beendete die Schweiz seine Karriere, brandmarkte ihn als Verbrecher und strich seine Rente. Er starb 1972 in Armut.

/Switzerland reads this and thinks „Selber schuld“
There’s a movie about him too: [https://www.playsuisse.ch/de/show/802120](https://www.playsuisse.ch/de/show/802120)
Wonderful Man.
Switzerland needs more people like him
Real hero ✔️🙏💪
A heroe..And the illustration that neutrality does not mean supporting immorality.
Neutrality is about standing up for the persecuted, offering them a safe heaven away from war, fighting for human rights in a polarized, war-torn world.
Every day lately I’m reminded about just how shitty humans can be.
Rules are rules I guess…awful.
From a human point of view, it was a good deed. Professionally, however, he deserves it.
Not even a hot take: he’d have the exact same consequences today if he did the same.
Was he or his family at all compensated post-war?
It’s not about helping people. It’s about adhering to strict rules! /s
