About the Book
Deception: How the Nazis Tricked the Last Jews of Europe by Christopher Hale examines the Nazi deception surrounding the attempted rescue of Hungarian Jews in 1944. The book focuses on the negotiations between Adolf Eichmann and Jewish representatives, particularly Joel Brand, during the final stages of the Holocaust.
The Brand Mission
In 1944, Eichmann presented an extraordinary proposal involving the possible release of Jewish prisoners in exchange for supplies. Joel Brand was sent to negotiate with the Allies, while the deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz-Birkenau continued.
Hale reconstructs these events using archival evidence from Germany, Hungary, Britain and the United States. The book examines the motives behind Eichmann's proposal, the actions of the Jewish negotiating group and the response of the Allied governments.
Deception and the Holocaust
The book places the Brand Mission within the wider history of the Holocaust and the German occupation of Hungary. It explores how Nazi authorities used negotiations and misinformation while carrying out the mass deportation and murder of Hungarian Jews.
