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.
