Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10, 000 Jews


Michael Smith - 1999
    At the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann he was described as a ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’, risking his own life to save Jews threatened with death by the Nazis. In fact, his post at the Passport Office was a front for his real role as MI6 head of station. Despite having no diplomatic immunity and being liable to arrest at any time, he went into the concentration camps to get Jews out, he hid them in his home and helped them to get forged passports. One Jewish aid worker estimated that he saved ‘tens of thousands’ of people from the Holocaust.Michael Smith has researched and vividly written one of the greatest unknown heroic stories of the Second World War.Just as we published this remarkable book in Hardback in January 1999, the RIGHTEOUS AMONG NATIONS accolade was bestowed upon Frank Foley by Yad Vasham - Israel's Holocaust Memorial CentreThe evidence collected for the book by Michael Smith proved conclusive enough for the award, also held by Oskar Schindler. now this new edition is made more accessible for those interested in reading Michael Smith's astonishing story of selfless heroism. Sales of the hardback put the book on the edge of the Sunday Times Top Ten non-fiction bestsellers, and soon afterwards the special edition tpk sold out [5k copies].After the award had been announced, Michael Smith, author of FOLEY: THE SPY WHO SAVED l0,000 JEWS, called Frank Foley 'a true British hero who worked not just for his country, but also for justice and the good of humanity. He has saved tens of thousands of lives. No-one could have deserved this award more.'FOLEY tells for the first time the story of Frank Foley's heroism and humanity. He was a spy-a fact that made his efforts on behalf of the Jews even more dangerous. His role as head of the British passport control office in Berlin was cover for his real role as MI6 Head of Station in the German capital. In this position he had no diplomatic immunity and was liable to arrest at any time, but for years he ignored all the rules to help Jews to leave the country.This is one of the greatest untold stories of heroism and humanity from the second world war recounted for the first time. When the Nazis came to power in the early l930s, it was clear that they were intent on obliterating all signs of Jewish influence from Germany and that tens of thousands of Jews would suffer horribly at the hands of Hitler's acolytes. For many of Germany's beleaguered Jews, Frank Foley, a quiet, unobtrusive and determined Englishman was to become their saviour.He was not only a brave and humane man, he was also one of the most brilliant intelligence officers ever to serve in MI6, and deserves recognition as such. It was through his flair for recruiting agents that the allies obtained details of Hitler's secret rocket programme and the progress of its atomic research. He was also the MI6 officer on the Double Cross Committee, masterminding the recruitment of German spies across the world to work as double agents for the British.
