I trace this shift through an examination of newspapers from three British regions during this period, including London, the Southwest, and the North. My research demonstrates that at the start of the war, the press featured early unity in support of the British war effort, with some regional variation.

  • American Responses
    AMERICAN RESPONSES What can we learn today from American action and inaction in the face of the refugee crisis in the spring of 1939 and the deportation of Hungarian Jews five years later? Looking back at these two events in Holocaust history raises questions about the responses of the United States to the widespread persecution and mass murder of the Jews of Europe. Jewish refugees board the MS St. Louis in Hamburg, Germany, in May 1939. Collection of Walter Karliner, Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, New York 1 National Days of Remembrance AMERICAN RESPONSES The United States in the 1930s As the Nazis increasingly persecuted Germany’s Jews in the 1930s, many Jews sought refuge in other countries. In the United States, the Depression’s economic hardships intensified antisemitism and xenophobia. The US State Department enforced restrictive immigration laws limiting the issuance of visas, making it difficult for Jews to enter the United States. While Americans participated in rallies opposing Nazi persecution, an overall sentiment of isolationism pervaded American attitudes and policy. Former New York Governor Alfred E. Smith addresses the crowd at a demonstration held in Madison Square Garden to protest the Nazi persecution of German Jews. March 27, 1933. National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, Maryland 2 National Days of Remembrance AMERICAN RESPONSES The Plight of Refugees In the face of a European refugee crisis caused by increasing anti-Jewish violence, the United States experienced a public challenge to its immigration policies.

  • Why Did World War II Break out in 1939? World War II (WWII)
    Why did World War II break out in 1939? World War II (WWII) is the deadliest conflict in human history, leading to the deaths of over 70 million people. It lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved nearly every country in the world. This worksheet will help you understand why WWII broke out in 1939 and what the causes of the war were. The Invasion of Poland Instructions: Read the two paragraphs and answer the questions about them in your books. Since Adolf Hitler had come to power in 1933, Germany had been building up its military strength. Germany had also joined with Austria and occupied Czechoslovakia. As you will know from the Appeasement work-sheet, the UK and France (the Allies) did little to stop Germany. This encouraged Hitler to move onto his next target: Poland. He wanted to conquer Poland because some German-speaking people lived there and because he wanted mored Lebensraum (‘living space’) for Germany. Realising Hitler needed to be stopped, on 31 March 1939 the UK and France guaranteed Polish independence - this meant they would declare war on Germany if they invaded Poland. Hitler did not take this promise seriously, and thought the UK and France would do nothing. # On 1 September 1939 German soldiers invaded Poland, starting WWII. Two days later the UK, France, Australia, New Zealand and India declared war on Germany. They were unable to help Poland. Germany sent 1.5 million soldiers into Poland. Poland had an army of 1 million and their soldiers fought bravely, but they were caught by surprise and the Germans advanced rapidly.

  • Early Warning Signs
    National Days of Remembrance EARLY WARNING SIGNS Austria, ca. 1938: A woman sits on a park bench marked “For Jews Only,” after German authorities implemented anti-Jewish laws. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of The Wiener Library In the pivotal year before Nazi Germany invaded Poland and launched World War II, intervention could have saved many lives. Why did so many fail to respond to the warning signs and what lessons do their actions hold for us today? 1 National Days of Remembrance earlyWARNIN warningG SIGN: T SIGNSerritorial: TERRIT EXOpanRIALS IONEXP ANSI ON Anschluss March 11 – 13 German troops enter Austria, which is incorporated into the German Reich. This is known as the Anschluss. German authorities quickly implement anti-Jewish legislation that encourages an atmosphere of hostility toward the Jewish population. The Anschluss accelerated persecution and violence against Jews in the Reich. As a result, Hilde Kraemer’s parents, living in Germany, encouraged her to emigrate from France, where she was in boarding school. With relatives in New York as sponsors, Hilde immigrated to the United States in the summer of 1938. In 1942, her mother and stepfather were deported to Auschwitz, where they perished. Hilde’s half-brother Alfred obtained passage to the United States in 1941 with the aid of a Swedish nurse and Jewish and Quaker aid organizations. Hilde and Alfred reunited in the United States.
