With the opening of the archives and the end of the Cold War, Switzerland will be confronted with its main diplomatic and identity crisis from the mid-1990s, concerning the escheated funds of Jewish victims of Nazism and its role as Neutral state.
In 1996, Thomas Borer was appointed head of a task force to lead the diplomatic fight, particularly against the United States. He recounts this unique experience in a well-documented 2000-page work, to be published soon in German (The Switzerland-Second World War Task Force).
