Humanitarians at War: The Red Cross in the Shadow of the Holocaust

Gerald Steinacher (Associate Professor of History and Hymen Rosenberg Professor of Judaic Studies, University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

The remarkable and intriguing story of how the International Committee of the Red Cross, one of the world’s oldest, most prominent, and revered aid organizations, ultimately emerged triumphant from the dark days of World War II, escaping its highly ambiguous wartime record to re-affirm its leadership in world humanitarian affairs and play a formative role in rewriting the rules of war in the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
