- Évian_Conference abstract "The Évian Conference was convened at the initiative of United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1938 to respond to the plight of the increasing numbers of Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Europe by the Nazis—and perhaps he hoped to obtain commitments from some of the invitee nations to accept more refugees, although he took pains to avoid stating that objective plainly. It was true that Roosevelt desired to deflect attention and criticism from his own national policy that severely limited the quota of Jewish refugees admitted to the United States.For eight days, from July 6 to 15 at Évian-les-Bains, France, representatives from 32 countries and 39 private organizations and some 24 voluntary organizations met and formally discussed the issue among themselves, both orally and in writing. Golda Meir, the attendee from the British Mandate of Palestine, was the only representative of a landed Jewish constituency, but she was not permitted to speak or to participate in the proceedings except as an observer. Some 200 international journalists gathered at Évian to observe and report on the conclave.The dispossessed and displaced Jews of Austria and Germany were hopeful that this international conference would lead to acceptance of more refugees and safe haven. "The United States had always been viewed in Europe as champion of freedom and under her powerful influence and following her example, certainly many countries would provide the chance to get out of the German trap. The rescue, a new life seemed in reach."Hitler responded to the news of the conference by saying essentially that if the other nations would agree to take the Jews, he would help them leave.I can only hope and expect that the other world, which has such deep sympathy for these criminals [Jews], will at least be generous enough to convert this sympathy into practical aid. We, on our part, are ready to put all these criminals at the disposal of these countries, for all I care, even on luxury ships.The conference proved a failure because both the United States and Britain refused to accept any (substantially) more refugees, and most of the countries at the conference followed suit, the result being that the Jews had no escape and were ultimately subject to what was known as Hitler's "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". The conference was seen by some as "an exercise in Anglo-American collaborative hypocrisy."Two months after Evian, in September 1938, Britain and France granted Hitler the right to occupy the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, making a further 120,000 Jews stateless. In November 1938, on Kristallnacht, a massive Pogrom across the new German Empire was accompanied by the destruction of over 1,000 Synagogues, massacres and the arbitrary arrest of tens of thousands of Jews.From early 1939 the British barred Jews from entering Palestine or buying land there and in March 1939, Hitler occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia (which had a further 180,000 Jews). Following his occupation of Poland in late 1939 and invasion of Russia in 1941, the Germans embarked on a program of systematically killing all Jews in Europe, sometimes with local assistance.".
