This volume, the third in a series of James G. McDonald s edited
diaries and papers, covers his work from 1945, with the formation
of the Anglo-American Committee, through 1947, with the United
Nations' decision to partition Palestine between Jews and Arabs.
The "Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry Regarding the Problems of
European Jewry and Palestine" was a group charged with finding a
solution to the problem of European Jewish Refugees in the context
of the increasingly unstable British Mandate in Palestine. McDonald
s diaries and papers offer the most thorough personal account we
have of the Committee and the politics surrounding it. His diary is
part travelogue through the desolation of postwar Europe and a
Middle East being transformed by new Jewish settlements and growing
Arab intransigence. McDonald maintained discreet contact with
Zionist and moderate Arab leaders throughout the Committee s
hearings and deliberations. He was instrumental in the
recommendation that 100,000 Jewish refugees enter Palestine and won
President Truman s trust in order to counter attempts to nullify
the report s recommendations."
New evidence presented in Refugees and Rescue challenges widely
held opinions about Franklin D. Roosevelt's views on the rescue of
European Jews before and during the Holocaust. The struggles of
presidential confidant James G. McDonald, who resigned as League of
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 1935, and his allies to
transfer many of the otherwise doomed are disclosed here for the
first time. Although McDonald's efforts as chairman of FDR's
advisory committee on refugees from May 1938 until nearly the end
of the war were hampered by the pervasive antisemitic attitudes of
those years, fears about security, and changing presidential
wartime priorities, tens of thousands did find haven. McDonald's
1935 1936 diary entries and the other primary sources presented
here offer new insights into these conflicts and into Roosevelt's
inconsistent attitudes toward the "Jewish question" in Europe.
Following the lauded Advocate for the Doomed (IUP, 2007), this
is the second of a projected three-volume work that will
significantly revise views of the Holocaust, its antecedents, and
its aftermath."
The private diary of James G. McDonald (1886 1964) offers a
unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi
regime and the Roosevelt administration s reactions to Nazi
persecution of German Jews. Considered for the post of U.S.
ambassador to Germany at the start of FDR s presidency, McDonald
traveled to Germany in 1932 and met with Hitler soon after the
Nazis came to power. Fearing Nazi intentions to remove or destroy
Jews in Germany, in 1933 he became League of Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees and sought aid from the international
community to resettle outside the Reich Jews and others persecuted
there. In late 1935 he resigned in protest at the lack of support
for his work.
This is the eagerly awaited first of a projected three-volume
work that will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the
world view the antecedents of the Holocaust, the Shoah itself, and
its aftermath."
Tort law is the law of civil wrongs. In legal practice, tort law is
dominated by claims for personal injury and death arising out of
motor and workplace accidents. However, the scope of tort law is
much broader. It includes other remedies for interference with
bodily integrity and remedies for interference with interests in
land and goods. In addition, the tort of negligence provides a
remedy for harm of a non-physical kind in a wide range of
circumstances, for example, psychiatric injury and pure economic
loss. In contemporary Australian law, there is no closed list of
civil wrongs and tort law is in a state of constant agitation in
response to changing societal expectations of responsibility for
loss causing activities. The fourth edition of this established
casebook seeks, through an authoritative selection of cases, to
illuminate the principles of contemporary Australian tort law and
to capture the underlying trends in the development of the law.
