Enmity, indifference or cooperation: the Allies and the Yishuv's rescue activists

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Discusses the reaction of Allied officials and military staff toward rescue attempts initiated by Palestinian Jewish organizations during World War II. In general, the Allies were reluctant to cooperate with the Jewish organizations, as the rescue of Jews was regarded as a humanitarian issue with no effect on the military war effort. States that the representatives of Jewish organizations in Palestine actually forced a limited cooperation on Allied staff stationed in various strategic locations, such as Istanbul and Palestine, by practically disregarding the prevailing unwillingness to cooperate and by making use of whatever means were available.
