| Description |
Long before the rise of Nazism in Germany, the Swiss authorities, both federal and cantonal, took legal measures to prevent the influx of refugees into the country. The main purpose was to protect Switzerland against "over-foreignization" ("Überfremdung"), which was understood largely as "Judaification". When World War II broke out and the perspective for re-emigration of arriving refugees waned, labor camps were established for them. Ca. 70% of the inmates were Jews. One of the main goals of the Swiss authorities was re-education of the refugees, to teach them love of menial work and a spirit of collectivism. The federal government tried to transfer the costs of the refugees' accommodations to the Swiss Jewish community, for which it was too heavy a burden.
