SPONSORING INSTITUTION:
The Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Following the Anschluss (the annexation of Germany to Austria on March 13, 1938) and the November 9 - 10, 1938 Kristallnacht rampages, thousands of German/Austrian Jewish refugees sought to flee the ominous clouds of anti-Jewish hatred spreading over them. Many sought to immigrate to Palestine, closed to them by a quota system enforced by the colonial British administration. Others clamored to enter the United States, where the immigration policy was similarly restricted by a quota, or to Caribbean and South American countries equally adverse to welcoming Jews.

DIPLOMATS OF MERCY
TOP
SPONSORING INSTITUTION:
The Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
When many Europeans collaborated with the Nazis in the persecution of Jews and when most Europeans were bystanders, an extraordinary group of diplomats representing such diverse countries as China, Hungary, El Salvador, the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey and Switzerland by their actions stood out as beacons of hope in an otherwise dark and grim time. These Diplomats of Mercy, because of diplomatic immunity, and in most cases without the approval of their governments, were able to save thousands of Jews, often against their own best interests.

DEFYING THE DEVIL: Christian Clergy Who Saved Jews from the Holocaust
TOP
SPONSORING INSTITUTION:
The Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
How could the clergy, ostensibly paragons of justice, truth and mercy, justify and support the Nazi policies of discrimination, persecution and murder of the Jews? Should not the commandment "Do not murder" have overridden any political loyalties? Yet there were those clergy, men and women, who felt compelled by the religious obligation to assist others in need. Some actually found Jewish refugees shelter, fed them, offered hope, visas, baptismal certificates or passports. Some paid with their own lives.
