Fired. The Saigon regime, however, evened the score. It billeted the Communist delegates in a remote, closely guarded corner of Tan Son Nhut Air Base; one Polish delegate to the ICCS complained that "it's like a concentration camp out there."

In 1959 Schwarz-Bart, the French-born son of a Polish Jewish family annihilated by the Nazis, published The Last of the Just.
