- L'émigration des Juifs fuyant l'Europe occupée vers le Royaume-Uni s'est déroulée en 1933, après l'accession au pouvoir d'Adolf Hitler. L'Europe étant occupée par les nazis, le Royaume-Uni était la destination principale. Certains arrivent avec des visas de transit, ce qui signifie qu'ils ne doivent rester en Grande-Bretagne que temporairement en attendant d'être acceptés par un autre pays. D'autres entrent dans le pays en obtenant un emploi ou grâce à l'aide d'un garant, ou encore lors de l'opération Kindertransport, qui consiste a donner des emplois dévalorisant de main d'oeuvre en échange de la nationalité. Environ soixante-dix mille réfugiés juifs sont acceptés en Grande-Bretagne au moment du début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le 1er septembre 1939. Pendant la guerre, on compte dix mille personnes supplémentaires. (fr)

- When Jewish leaders med with the Cabinet Committee on Aliens Restrictions of the Home Office in meetings beginning 6 April 1933, part of their offer to allow for more refugees to enter the country was a broader, open-ended guarantee that "all expense, whether temporary or permanent accommodation or maintenance, will be borne by the Jewish community without ultimate charge to the state." The Jewish community leaders thought that this would be a short-term arrangement for each person as they sought other countries to immigrate to. After the Anschluss, the Jewish Refugee Committee and other relief agencies sought out personal guarantors for refugees. (fr)
- The story proper opens in 1933, when hundreds of refugees from Nazi Germany, most of them Jews, arrived in the United Kingdom. Our starting point is a little earlier. This is because Whitehall policy on the new influx of aliens was made in the context of immigration restrictions dating from 1905. It is in that year that we begin, with a brief history of immigration law, policy and practice… The year 1905 saw Britain take the next step in creating its modern system of immigration control. Prior to this time, immigration itself was not subject to legal controls… The Aliens Act 1905 was designed to stem the influx of Jews from eastern Europe… The new controls were highly selective… In subsequent years the figures were much lower. Overall, the period from 1906 to 1914 saw a decline in alien admissions, partly because the new law had a deterrent effect. But by now most Jews emigrating from the continent preferred other destinations, particularly the USA. The mass entry of aliens ceased at the start of the First World War. The Aliens Restriction Act 1914 introduced sweeping powers to restrict alien immigration and to provide for deportation. After the war the Aliens Restriction Act 1919 extended the 1914 provisions into peace-time and added severe new restrictions. (fr)
- For instance, Peter Kurer, whose work resulted in the establishment of an archive of the Society of Friends role during the Holocaust at Yad Vashem, said that the Quakers helped save the lives of his family, which included his 91 year-old great-grandmother, eight other members of his family, and himself, a child refugee. He believes, through his research, that Quakers saved about 27,000 Jews. (fr)
- Refugees from Germany, most of them Jews, started to arrive at British ports at the end of January 1933… … These figures were unsettling from the Home Office, not only because of the dramatic increase, but also because of the financial implications. British policy towards refugees revolved around the issue of finance. On 6 April 1933, the home secretary, Sir John Gilmour, raised refugee matters in the Cabinet for the first time; he emphasised the problem of refugees who were completely destitute, or might soon be so… The Home Office wished to give a speedy response to an initiative from Jewish leaders which appeared to remove the risks entailed in admitting destitute Jews. There were also asking whether controls could be relaxed to ease the entry of refugees… The Cabinet Committee on Aliens Restrictions met for the first time on 6 April. Now, when the immigration officer granted leave to land to a newly arrived passenger from the continent who seemed to be a refugee, he would routinely attach a short time condition - usually one month - plus a condition forbidding employment. The Jewish proposals were set out in a document signed by Neville Laski KC, president of the London Committee of Deputies of British Jews, better known as Board of Deputies, Lionel L. Cohen KC, Committee, Leonard G. Montefiore, president of the Anglo-Jewish Association, and Otto Schiff. The most important element in seven short paragraphs was the guarantee that no refugee would become a burden on public funds: 'all expense, whether temporary or permanent accommodation or maintenance, will be borne by the Jewish community without ultimate charge to the state.' The guarantee was open-ended. No limit was set on the numbers to whom it would apply, but it was not designed to lead to long-lasting commitments. Jewish leaders intended the refugee's stay to be temporary… ultimate transmigration of the refugees to countries other than England. (fr)
