The Grüninger File

"Akte Grüninger" is a powerful drama that uncovers the hidden story of a Swiss policeman who dared to defy the odds and provide hope to those who needed it most. In the late 1930s, Paul Grüninger, a police captain in the Canton of St. Gallen, risked everything to help hundreds of Jewish refugees escape the clutches of the Nazi regime. Despite the Swiss government's decision to close its borders to Jewish refugees, Grüninger, fueled by his unwavering humanity, provided false travel documents and personally helped these desperate individuals cross the border into Switzerland. But when the authorities caught wind of his actions, they sent Inspector Robert Frei to investigate and bring Grüninger to justice. What unfolds is a gripping tale of courage, conviction, and the power of compassion.
