Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acrimonious debate over the British policy toward refugees from the Nazi regime has scarcely died down even now, some forty years later. bitter charges of indifference and lack of feeling are still leveled at politicians and civil servants, and the assertion made that Great Britain's record on refugee matters is shabby and unworthy of her liberal traditions. It has now become possible to investigate the truth of these charges and to analyse the reaction tin Britain to refugees from the Third Reich throughout the eventful years preceding the outbreak of war. Based on Government and private papers only recently released for public scrutiny, this book is the first authoritative study of the British response to a refugee crisis which posed many highly emotional and contentious issues in both domestic and foreign policy, and proved na acute irritant in Anglo-American relations. There were no simple answers, no obvious or rapid solutions in a world which frequently seemed to have no room for refugees and but scant sympathy for their plight. Harassed by conflicting pressures form home and abroad, all too aware that greater generosity to refugees from Nazism might well inspire imitative mass expulsions from Eastern Europe, Whitehall officials struggled to maintain an older British tradition of political asylm while still avoiding, at a time of massive unemployment, a sudden large-scale influx of aliens. Initial caution, insensitivity and confusion gave way after the Anschluss to a greater awareness of the critical need, and ultimately to a large-scale modification, under the sheer pressure of refugee numbers, of polices which had virtually hardened into constitutional doctrine. Britain's record concerning refugees from the Third Reich was a mixed one. Far less welcoming at first than a number of countries, but ultimately more generous than many, including the United States, Britain did grant asylum to a significantly large number of refugees in the crowded months before the outbreak of hostilities. The reasons for the dramatic turnabout in British refugee policy emerge clearly from this dispassionate and carefully documented study. Inland Refuge sheds definite light on a largely unexplored and still highly controversial episode in twentieth-century history. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.

Book excerpt: "In post-war Britain there was a small but highly influential group of historians who excelled as academic teachers and who made significant contributions to British and international learning.

In these autobiographical essays, historians reflect on their lives, their teaching and research, and their role as brokers between Britain, Germany and Austria."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Book Synopsis Refugees from Nazi Germany and the Liberal European States by : Frank Caestecker
Download or read book Refugees from Nazi Germany and the Liberal European States written by Frank Caestecker and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The exodus of refugees from Nazi Germany in the 1930s has received far more attention from historians, social scientists, and demographers than many other migrations and persecutions in Europe. However, as a result of the overwhelming attention that has been given to the Holocaust within the historiography of Europe and the Second World War, the issues surrounding the flight of people from Nazi Germany prior to 1939 have been seen as Vorgeschichte (pre-history) ... Based on a comparative analysis of national case studies, this volume deals with the challenges that the pre-1939 movement of refugees from Germany and Austria posed to the immigration controls in the countries of interwar Europe"--Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Fleeing from the Fuhrer by : Charmian Brinson
Download or read book Fleeing from the Fuhrer written by Charmian Brinson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exodus of men, women and children fleeing from the Nazi regime was one of the largest diasporas the world has ever seen. It sparked an international refugee crisis that changed society and continues to shape our culture and community today. The years between 1933 and 1945, the Nazi era in Germany, and the war years, 1939 to 1945, were a time of destruction, upheaval and misery throughout Europe and beyond. Displacement and death, whether in war or civilian life, became everyday experiences, for young and old alike. Families were torn apart by enforced emigration or deportation. Parents were separated from their children, husbands from wives, brothers from sisters. Interned in camps that spread across the globe from Shanghai to the United States of America to the Isle of Man, they became strangers in a foreign land and often the only link they had to their former lives were letters exchanged with friends and family. These scarce postal communications, therefore, assumed huge significance in the lives of both sender and receiver, one that is hard to imagine today in the age of instant communication. Fleeing from the Führer is an unusual collection of correspondence that shows the incredible nature of this worldwide emigration and the indomitable spirit of these refugees. Each postcard, envelope and item of ephemera tells its own unique story and is reproduced in full colour, making this a fascinating resource for anyone wanting to understand this poignant part of our international history.

Book Synopsis Generation Exodus by : Walter Laqueur
Download or read book Generation Exodus written by Walter Laqueur and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10-23 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is a generational history of the young people whose lives were irrevocably shaped by the rise of the Nazis. Half a million Jews lived in Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933. Over the next decade, thousands would flee. Among these refugees, teens and young adults formed a remarkable generation. They were old enough to appreciate the loss of their homeland and the experience of flight, but often young and flexible enough to survive and even flourish in new environments. This generation has produced such disparate figures as Henry Kissinger and "Dr Ruth" Westheimer. Walter Laqueur has drawn on interviews, published and unpublished memoirs and his own experiences as a member of this group of refugees, to paint a vivid and moving portrait of Generation Exodus.
Book Synopsis The League of Nations and the Refugees from Nazi Germany by : Greg Burgess
Download or read book The League of Nations and the Refugees from Nazi Germany written by Greg Burgess and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greg Burgess's important new study explores the short life of the High Commission for Refugees (Jewish and Other) Coming from Germany, from its creation by the League of Nations in October 1933 to the resignation of High Commissioner, James G. McDonald, in December 1935. The book relates the history of the first stage of refugees from Germany through the prism of McDonald and the High Commission. It analyses the factors that shaped the Commission's formation, the undertakings the Commission embarked upon and its eventual failure owing to external complications. The League of Nations and the Refugees from Nazi Germany argues that, in spite of the Commission's failure, the refugees from Nazi Germany and the High Commission's work mark a turn in conceptions of international humanitarian responsibilities when a state defies standards of proper behaviour towards its citizens. From this point on, it was no longer considered sufficient or acceptable for states to respect the sovereign rights of another if the rights of citizens were being violated. Greg Burgess discusses this idea, amongst others, in detail as part of what is a crucial volume for all scholars and students of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust and modern Jewish history.

Book Synopsis Encounters with Albion by : ANTHONY. GRENVILLE
Download or read book Encounters with Albion written by ANTHONY. GRENVILLE and published by Legenda. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much has been written about British attitudes to the Jewish refugees from Hitler who fled to this country after 1933, little attention has been paid to the ways in which those refugees perceived and depicted their (often somewhat reluctant) hosts. From their impressions on arrival, through the tumultuous events of World War II and mass internment, and on into the long period of integration after 1945, Anthony Grenville expertly traces the development of refugee responses to their new homeland. Drawing on a wide range of novels, autobiographies, memoirs, diaries and letters by Jewish refugees, he recreates the course of a complex and sometimes fraught relationship, but one that ultimately arrived at a largely settled resolution. Anthony Grenville is Chair of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies, University of London, and was Consultant Editor of the Association of Jewish Refugees Journal, 2006-17.
Download or read book Interrupted Journeys written by Alan Gill and published by Simon & Schuster (Australia). This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 10,000 young German, Austrian and Czech Jews fled Nazi oppression in their homeland to seek refuge in Britain, America and Australia duringWWI. Leaving behind their parents, families and everything familiar they fled to an unknown country and future in their fight for survival. Interrupted Journeys reveals the wartime stories of the Kindertransports and other child and teen refugees, also the trials and eventual triumphs of young people who survived the Nazi camps, or were in hiding, and who migrated to the same destinations, sponsored by private and government agencies, in the post-war era. Some of the accounts are strange, like that of the Dunera Boys -- low category enemy aliens shipped from Britain to Australia, where they were interned for nearly two years "by mistake". Even stranger is the saga of the renowned (non-Jewish) Vienna Mozart Boys Choir, who had the misfortune to be touring Australia when war began. (Source: Publisher).

Book Synopsis False Havens by : Paul Robert Bartrop
Download or read book False Havens written by Paul Robert Bartrop and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Holocaust period, the countries of the British Empire were viewed as safe havens for the persecuted Jews of Europe. As this collection of essays shows, however, they proved to be false havens. For the first time, the response of these countries of the British Empire to the Jewish refugee crisis of the 1930s and 1940s is addressed. False Havens discusses the essential problems presented by the crisis and demonstrates the tragedy of racism and bureaucratic tight-fistedness at a time when tolerance and imagination were essential.
