Regarding this:
In an article about rescue attempts in Hungary, Randolph L. Braham criticized the book's accuracy, describing Kranzler as a "mythmaker". [1]
Exaggerated numbers of rescued Jews were also advanced in connection with the rescue activities of the Vatican [and various other organizations] ... A mythmaker identified his hero, George Mandel-Mantello ... the first-secretary of the Consulate General of El Salvador in Geneva, as 'the man who stopped the trains to Auschwitz'. Many of these accounts fail to note that the rescue attempts of the neutral powers were largely restricted to Budapest during the Nyilas era and that all of the neutral powers had close lucrative economic ties with Nazi Germany throughout the war.
I'm having trouble understanding the point of the criticism and how it relates to Kranzler, and in what sense Braham questions the book's accuracy. SarahSV (talk) 02:52, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
