Download or read book Australia and the Jewish Refugees, 1933-1948 written by Michael Blakeney and published by Sydney, NSW : Croom Helm Australia. This book was released on 1985 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian reluctance to accept Jewish refugees before and during World War II was connected to traditional immigration policies intended to ensure a "White Australia" and barring "genetically undesirable races." Traces the history of cultural and intellectual antisemitism in Australia, often originating in Britain, and of Social Darwinist and right-wing nationalist ideas and their influence on immigration policies before and after 1933. Unemployment caused by the depression (and often blamed on Jewish financial machinations) aroused fears of being swamped by hordes of Jewish refugees. The official Jewish community acquiesced in these fears. As a result, only 7500 refugees reached Australia before 1941. Even after the war, the public and press opposed entry of Jewish refugees.
Book Synopsis Australia and the Holocaust, 1933-45 by : Paul Robert Bartrop
Download or read book Australia and the Holocaust, 1933-45 written by Paul Robert Bartrop and published by Australian Scholary Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the formation and execution of Australian government policy towards the Jews during the Holocaust period. Australia did not have an established refugee policy (as opposed to immigration policy) until late 1938. Following the Evian Conference in 1938, Interior Minister John McEwen promised to accept 15,000 refugees but failed to keep his promise. Ca. 10,000 Jews entered Australia during these years despite obstacles set up by the bureaucracy. Popular attitudes toward Jewish immigrants were largely negative, and were manifested in the press and in letters to the Interior Ministry. When World War II broke out, questions of security were exploited as the means to further exclude Jewish refugees, a policy incongruous alongside government pronouncements condemning Nazi atrocities during the early 1940s. Between 1933-45 Australia treated Jewish refugees as regular immigrants, which was justifiable in the 1930s, when no one knew about the genocide of the Jews, but not in 1940-44 when news of it appeared in the press.

Book Synopsis The Safe House Down Under by : Anna Rosenbaum
Download or read book The Safe House Down Under written by Anna Rosenbaum and published by Peter Lang Limited, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the demise of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, the Jewish population fell victim to Nazi persecution. Hoping to find a safe haven elsewhere in the world, some Czechoslovak Jews turned to Australia to seek refuge. This book focuses on their struggles to survive in life-threatening situations and their efforts to reach the safety of the distant continent. Although the German occupation of Czechoslovakia has been a subject of extensive academic debate, the role of the Australian government in this international event has thus far not been examined. This book evaluates the impact on Australia of policies pursued by Europe's leading politicians with regard to Czechoslovakia that ultimately failed to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. Central to the book is a discussion of Australia's policy towards the admission of Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia. Drawing on archival sources as well as original interviews conducted with former refugees from Czechoslovakia, the author offers insights into the lives and experiences of these Jewish refugees down under. At the same time, the book sheds light on Australia's involvement in one of the defining moments of the twentieth century.

Download or read book None Is Too Many written by Irving Abella and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, we think of Canada as a compassionate, open country to which refugees from other countries have always been welcome. However, between the years 1933 and 1948, when the Jews of Europe were looking for a place of refuge from Nazi persecution, Canada refused to offer aid, let alone sanctuary, to those in fear for their lives. Rigorously documented and brilliantly researched, None Is Too Many tells the story of Canada’s response to the plight of European Jews during the Nazi era and its immediate aftermath, exploring why and how Canada turned its back and hardened its heart against the entry of Jewish refugees. Recounting a shameful period in Canadian history, Irving Abella and Harold Troper trace the origins and results of Canadian immigration policies towards Jews and conclusively demonstrate that the forces against admitting them were pervasive and rooted in antisemitism. First published in 1983, None Is Too Many has become one of the most significant books ever published in Canada. This fortieth anniversary edition celebrates the book’s ongoing impact on public discourse, generating debate on ethics and morality in government, the workings of Canadian immigration and refugee policy, the responsibility of bystanders, righting historical wrongs, and the historian as witness. Above all, the reader is asked: "What kind of Canada do we want to be?" This new anniversary edition features a foreword by Richard Menkis on the impact the book made when it was first published and an afterword by David Koffman explaining why the book remains critical today.

Book Synopsis Irish Government Policy and Public Opinion towards German-Speaking Refugees, 1933-1943 by : Siobhán O’Connor
Download or read book Irish Government Policy and Public Opinion towards German-Speaking Refugees, 1933-1943 written by Siobhán O’Connor and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the first time Ireland, with an autonomous legislative parliament, met with large inward migration in the modern era. In 1933, Ireland was a young state in its turbulent teens attempting to establish itself on the international stage. The people were scarred by recent memories of revolution, a War of Independence and a civil war, but they had lived through 10 years of relative peace. Two influential statesmen came to power in their respective countries: de Valera in Ireland and Hitler in Germany. Due to the latter, a large scale movement of people began. Ireland, under the leadership of de Valera, with the civil service established before him and a diverse population living there, had an unprecedented inward migratory issue to address. This book looks at the role of the civil service at home and abroad, its development and implementation of government policy and its involvement with international efforts to address the movement of German-speaking exiles fleeing the expanding National Socialist territory. It also explores the experiences of people around Ireland as they learn about the people fleeing and their responses to them. This study lays bare the foundation stone in the history of Ireland’s policy and public opinion toward inward migration, and allows us to understand the treatment of and reaction towards migration today. The impact of that fledgling refugee policy as examined here continues to echo in the current experiences of those fleeing persecution and war and those set to receive them.
Book Synopsis The Jews in Australia by : Suzanne D. Rutland
Download or read book The Jews in Australia written by Suzanne D. Rutland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews form only a tiny proportion of the Australian population, yet they have made outstanding contributions and have influenced Australian society immeasurably. Stories such as that of Sir John Monash, Australian commander-in-chief during World War I, whose legacy continues through Monash University, show how Jews have reached the highest echelons of Australian society. The Jews in Australia explores what makes the Australian Jewish community different from other Jewish communities around the world. It traces the community's history from its convict origins in 1788 through to today's vibrant Jewish culture in Australia, and highlights the social and cultural impact the Jews have had on Australia. As well as looking at the emergence of a specific faith tradition in Australia, the book also explores how Jews, as Australia's first ethnic group, have integrated into multicultural Australia.

Book Synopsis Cities of Refuge by : Lori Gemeiner Bihler
Download or read book Cities of Refuge written by Lori Gemeiner Bihler and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrasts the experiences of German Jewish refugees from the Holocaust who fled to London and New York City. In the years following Hitlers rise to power, German Jews faced increasingly restrictive antisemitic laws, and many responded by fleeing to more tolerant countries. Cities of Refuge compares the experiences of Jewish refugees who immigrated to London and New York City by analyzing letters, diaries, newspapers, organizational documents, and oral histories. Lori Gemeiner Bihler examines institutions, neighborhoods, employment, language use, name changes, dress, family dynamics, and domestic life in these two cities to determine why immigrants in London adopted local customs more quickly than those in New York City, yet identified less as British than their counterparts in the United States did as American. By highlighting a disparity between integration and identity formation, Bihler challenges traditional theories of assimilation and provides a new framework for the study of refugees and migration. This is the first comprehensive comparative study of German Jewish immigration during the period of National Socialism. Comparing German Jews who fled their homeland and resettled in London with those who resettled in New York City, Bihler carefully documents the distinct structural conditions each group encountered and consequently the divergent lives the two immigrant groups led. Bihlers numerous significant insights would be unattainable without her intellectual commitment to rigorous comparative study. Judith M.

Book Synopsis The Evian Conference of 1938 and the Jewish Refugee Crisis by : Paul R. Bartrop
Download or read book The Evian Conference of 1938 and the Jewish Refugee Crisis written by Paul R. Bartrop and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first dedicated study of the Evian Conference of July 1938, an international initiative called by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. While on the surface the conference appeared as an attempt to alleviate the distress faced by Jews being forced out of Germany and Austria, in reality it only served to demonstrate that the nations of the world were not willing to accept Jews as refugees. Since the Holocaust, a generally-held assumption has been that the Evian Conference represented a lost opportunity to save Germany’s Jews, and that the conference failed to rescue the Jews of Europe. In this study, Paul Bartrop argues that in fact it did not fail when measured against the original reasons for which it was called. Exposing many of the myths surrounding the meeting, this work addresses a glaring lacuna in the literature of the Holocaust, and places the so-called 'failure' of the Evian Conference into its proper context.
Book Synopsis Carl Goerdeler and the Jewish Question, 1933–1942 by : Peter Hoffmann
Download or read book Carl Goerdeler and the Jewish Question, 1933–1942 written by Peter Hoffmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s, Carl Goerdeler, the mayor of Leipzig and, as prices commissioner, a cabinet-level official, engaged in active opposition against the persecution of the Jews in Germany and in Eastern Europe. He did this openly until 1938 and then secretly in contact with the British Foreign Office. Having failed to change Hitler's policy against the Jews, Goerdeler joined forces with military and civil conspirators against the regime. He was hanged for treason on 2 February 1945. This book describes the actions of Carl Goerdeler, the German resistance leader who consistently engaged in efforts to protect the Jews against persecution. Using new evidence and thus far under-researched documents, including a memorandum written by Goerdeler at the end of 1941 with a proposal for the status of the Jews in the world, the book fundamentally changes our understanding of Goerdeler's plan and presents a new view of the German resistance to Hitler.
