WorldThe 10 Dark Days of Evian

In July 1938, an international conference took place in Evian, France, to determine what would happen to Jews fleeing Germany and Austria. Almost no country in the world was prepared to receive them. The gathering exposed the near-total unwillingness of governments to offer refuge to people facing persecution. Its ten days became a stark episode in the history of international responses to refugees.
