Geneva - The Swiss reacted with a mixture of contrition and pique at the weekend after a report accused their country of turning away at least 24,500 Jews to face death at the hands of the Nazis.
"Our history, our fault," the French-language Le Temps newspaper said in a front-page headline. "Now we are faced with the reality. We could come up with all kinds of contortions to try to alleviate the brutality of this reality, but we will have to live with it."
