Paris, Feb 7 (EFE).- (Camera: José Manzaneque) The role of diplomacy in Germany was crucial in saving the lives of Jews during the persecution of the Nazis in World War II.

TRANSLATION: "There was a varied role (in diplomats) and diverse attitudes at the individual level that reflect awareness or actions and different moral attitudes. It is difficult to disobey when you are a State official, when you represent a country and the politics of that country somewhere, and, for example, trying to save through the granting of visas to flee or even create evasion channels.There were also roles as in the case of German diplomats, considered almost murderers because they also participate in the destruction of the Jews of Europe in the countries where they were accredited."
