The banks agreed to launder the gold stolen by the Hitler regime, and the factories were in full swing.

So detonators and armaments that fueled the German war effort.

We also discover that large companies have implemented anti-Semitic laws ... And other Swiss secrets, which undermine this notion of neutrality.

On France 2, prejudices are at the heart of a remarkable documentary entitled La disgrace.
