The Evian Conference of 1938 and the Jewish Refugee Crisis

More about the book

Focusing on the Evian Conference of July 1938, this study reveals the complexities behind an initiative aimed at addressing the plight of Jews fleeing Germany and Austria. While often viewed as a missed opportunity to aid Jewish refugees, the author argues it fulfilled its original purpose by highlighting international reluctance to accept them. By challenging prevalent myths and providing critical context, this work fills a significant gap in Holocaust literature, reexamining the conference's legacy and its implications for refugee policy.
