George Mantello (Mandel), an Orthodox Jew from Hungary and first secretary of the El Salvador mission to Switzerland, sent a Romanian diplomat friend, Florian Manoliu, to find out what was happening to his family, who by then had been murdered. Manoliu stopped over in Budapest at risk to himself and on 19 June 1944 obtained the abridged Auschwitz Protocols reports from Orthodox Jew Moshe Krausz representing the Jewish Agency in Budapest. Manilou immediately returned with the reports to Geneva and Mantello publicized the details within a day of receiving them. This led to grass roots demonstrations, over 400 headlines in the Swiss press deploring Europe's barbarism toward Jews (published in spite of Swiss censorship rules), sermons in Swiss churches and the publication of the book "Am I my Brother's Keeper?" by Paul Vogt, Switzerland's leading theologian. The resulting international outcry was one of the main reasons that the Hungarian government stopped the deportations. By then, 437,000 Hungarian Jews had been taken to Auschwitz, most being murdered on arrival.
