Whitehall and the Jews, 1933-1948: British Immigration Policy, Jewish Refugees and the Holocaust

by London, Louise (2000); Published by Cambridge University Press

Whitehall and the Jews is the fullest study yet of the British response to European Jewry under the Nazis, and the first detailed account of British immigration policy toward refugee Jews. The British government always put self-interest first and sought to avoid long-term responsibility for large numbers of homeless Jews. Nonetheless, aided by the sympathy of certain officials and ministers, many Jews obtained refuge, albeit subject to severe restrictions.

by Firestone, Rabbi Tirzah (2019); Published by Monkfish Book Publishing

Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our children―a legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives.
