rico:history "Rezső Rudolf Kasztner (1906-1957) was a leader of the Budapest Jewish Rescue Committee during World War II. The Committee consisted of a group of Zionists who helped smuggle Jews into Hungary from German-occupied countries. After Germany occupied Hungary in 1944, the Committee shifted to negotiating with the SS to let Hungarian Jews leave Hungary. In part of these negotiations, Kasztner was able to negotiate with Adolf Eichmann, a senior officer in the SS, for the release a group of 1,685 Jews to Switzerland in exchange for money. After the war, Kasztner moved to Israel and became a spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry. He was later accused of being a Nazi collaborator by Malchiel Gruenwald because of his negotiations with Eichmann during the war. Kasztner sued Gruenwald for libel, but after an 18 month trial the judge ruled in Gruenwald's favor. Kasztner was forced to resign from his position with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and was later assassinated outside his home in Tel Aviv in 1957. The Supreme Court of Israel overturned most of the judgment against Kasztner in January 1958."@en , "United States Holocaust Memorial Museum"@en ;
