| Summary: | Examines views toward the Third Reich expressed in the newspapers "Neue Berner Zeitung" (NBZ), "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" (NZZ), "Vaterland", and "Volksrecht". Ch. 3 (pp. 113-162), "Die Verfolgung der Juden", discusses the coverage relating to the persecution of Jews by the Nazi regime, focusing on the boycott against Jewish enterprises, the Nazi legislation, the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, etc. The NBZ favored the Nazi state, considering it as establishing order in the country and as a supporter of agriculture. The attitude of the NZZ was reserved and ironic, mentioning tragic events explicitly only in the early years, contenting itself with a mixture of pragmatism and reasons of state. The Catholic conservative "Vaterland" mistrusted Nazism from the beginning, but was interested only in religious topics. Conversely, the socialist "Volksrecht" reacted with empathy toward the Jews, and made fervent appeals to the world and to the human conscience. Pp. 165-180 discuss the minor attention of the Swiss press regarding the situation in German concentration camps, despite reports by escaped prisoners. For example, the mass murder of 70,000 Jews in Kiev in 1943 was dismissed as atrocity propaganda |
