Jew Must Die

On April 1942 - a few days before Hitler's birthday - a handful of Nazis in the Swiss town of Payerne lure Arthur Bloch, a Jewish cattle merchant, into a stable and kill him with an iron bar. Europe is in flames, but this is Switzerland and the people of Payerne are more concerned with unemployment and local bankruptcy than the fate of nations across the border. Based on a true story of political murder in 1940s Switzerland, Chessex' novel is a riveting read.
