THE EVIAN CONFERENCE OF 1938 AND THE JEWISH REFUGEE CRISIS
Paul R. Bartrop
The Holocaust and its Contexts Series Editors Claus-Christian W. Szejnmann Loughborough University Loughborough, UK Ben Barkow The Wiener Library London, UK
More than sixty years on, the Holocaust remains a subject of intense debate with ever-widening ramifications. This series aims to demonstrate the continuing relevance of the Holocaust and related issues in contemporary society, politics and culture; studying the Holocaust and its history broadens our understanding not only of the events themselves but also of their present-day significance. The series acknowledges and responds to the continuing gaps in our knowledge about the events that constituted the Holocaust, the various forms in which the Holocaust has been remembered, interpreted and discussed, and the increasing importance of the Holocaust today to many individuals and communities.
