    Hotel Polski affair

    German authorities and Jewish collaborators used false or invalid foreign-passport promises to lure Jews out of hiding in Warsaw. Approximately 2,500 people were drawn into the scheme, and most were arrested, deported to concentration camps or killed. The operation remains a major subject of Holocaust scholarship.
