Switzerland, Turkey, Ireland, and Finland offered no such help. Sweden did help some Jewish refugees, most notably 8,000 Danish Jews who were ferried across to safety, but cannot match Spain's record. Say what you wish about Spanish Facisim, when it comes down to it, no nation had an open door policy to save lives like Spain did.
