    Abstract: In 1939-48 the main issue which dominated the British authorities' treatment of the Jewish problem in Europe was the dispute over Palestine. Britain refused to open the gates of Palestine, or her own gates, for Jewish refugees from Nazi-controlled Europe. The British government took no note of the tragic plight of the Jews in Europe; it regarded the refugees as pawns in the hands of the Zionists, who could antagonize the Arabs against London. Both during and after the war, when the scope of the Nazi genocide became known, the British disregarded the uniqueness of the Jewish tragedy under the Nazis, downplayed postwar antisemitism in Eastern Europe (and even placed responsibility for it on the Jews themselves), and impeded Jewish immigration to Palestine. George Rendel, of the Foreign Office, determined Britain's policy toward Jewish DPs. The British wartime policy vis-a-vis the refugee problem and immigration to Palestine caused a deterioration in relations between the Zionists and Britain.

    Abstract: Discusses the position of female domestic servants as supporters of the British Union of Fascists (ca. 20% of whose membership were women). Most female BUF members came from the middle and upper classes, and they felt a strong need for working-class support. It was decided to court domestic servants as an easy target and a clearly discriminated-against group. But most domestic servants were not interested. This issue was complicated in 1938-39 with the influx of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria. Due to a major shortage of labor in domestic service and nursing, Britain admitted some 20,000 refugee domestic servants. They had to face the antisemitism of both their employers and their fellow employees. Up to half of them were sacked at the outbreak of war and a significant number were interned in the panic of spring 1940.

    Abstract: At the outbreak of war many Londoners, including Jews, fled or were sent to safe seaside or country towns. Although all evacuees were regarded as aliens in these towns, Jews were especially conspicuous. Few Jews had ever been seen in these districts and old prejudices, such as the belief that they had horns, persisted. Shows that the evacuation of Jewish schoolchildren to Bedford, where organizers were Jewish and the nonconformist Protestant tradition was strong, was successful compared to more xenophobic East Anglia. Many children reported pressure to abandon religious observance or to attend church. A second, less organized evacuation took place in autumn 1941. Resentment of overcrowding was turned against Jewish evacuees, whether working-class or nouveau-riche. The third evacuation, in 1944, was generally successful although some antisemitic incidents occurred. Concludes that the evacuation contributed to Jewish integration in Britain at the price of the evacuees' religious identity.

    Abstract: During World War II there was "widespread revulsion" among the British concerning Nazi antisemitic violence; however, few people in Britain appreciated the enormity of Nazi crimes against the Jews. The reason for this was the antisemitic attitude of many British people, both assimilationists and exclusionists, who rejected Jews and blamed them for their own misfortunes. The ideological considerations of these people affected government policy towards Jewish refugees and their treatment by the public. Due to latent antisemitism, British society was unable "to conceive of the horrors" of the Holocaust.
