Unfulfilled promise

Enlarge text Shrink text

Discusses U.S. admissions policy for unaccompanied child refugees from countries under Nazi jurisdiction. Only about 1,000 Jewish children and several thousand non-Jewish children were allowed entry between 1934-45. Relates the struggle against immigration restrictions for children which was conducted by various persons and organizations, both Jewish and non-Jewish, the subsequent admission of these children, their resettlement and assimilation. Analyzes the factors (post-recession economic conditions, latent antisemitism, anti-immigrant public mood, tenuous position of the Jewish organizations) responsible for the fact that such a small number of children were admitted into the USA. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
