Real Lessons of the Évian Conference, Part One

Germany's Jews were in no hurry to be "saved."

The non-Jewish world is chronically accused of having been “indifferent” to the fate of Europe’s Jews “during the Holocaust.” This kind of kvetching happened in the 1930s, and it happens today. It is used as a way of applying political pressure. A careful review of the facts however shows that, for the amount complaining that these spokesmen for the Jews have been doing, and for the moral influence that they wield by means of their complaining, the justification is sorely lacking.

We have just passed the 85th anniversary of what Jews nowadays like to cite as a demonstration of non-Jewish indifference, the international conference in July 1938 at Évian-les-Bains, France. The conference had been summoned on 23 March 1938, by President Franklin Roosevelt, evidently as a reaction to the new wave of (mainly Jewish) refugees generated by the subsumption of Austria into Germany just eleven days earlier (at 1:30AM on 12 March 1938).

Since a large amount of illegal migration by Jews was happening (e.g., by the Jews aboard the much ballyhooed St. Louis, who apparently intended to enter the USA despite lacking visas), the purpose of this conference was to redirect Jewish migration into lawful and orderly channels.
