Swiss in WWII

Re your Aug. 29 Opinion interview with Alan Morris Schom: Allow me to take issue with Schom’s assertion that the Swiss were essentially pro-Nazi during World War II. To the citizens of German-occupied and annexed Alsace on the northwestern border of Switzerland, a German-language radio program out of Zurich offered weekly the only objective, thorough analysis of world news available to them, through the darkest days of that war.

It brought them consolation and sustained their faith in the ultimate victory of the Allies and concomitant defeat of the Third Reich. I do not recall a hint of anti-Semitism, which would have been found abhorrent.
