The Holcroft Covenant is a 1978 thriller novel by American wtiter Robert Ludlum. In 1985 it was made into a film of the same name. The novel concerns Noel Holcroft, New York City architect and secretly (and unknown to Noel prior to the events of the novel) the son of Heinrich Clausen, chief economic adviser to the Third Reich. At some point in the 1970s, Holcroft is contacted by the Grande Banque de Geneve, concerning his father's will and testament. The testament says that in the last half of the war, Clausen found out about the Holocaust. Horrified and desperate to make amends, he and his two friends stole vast amounts of money from thousands of individual sources throughout the Reich and funneled them into a secure account in Zurich, Switzerland.
