  • An X-Ray of Chilean Right-Wing Attitudes Toward Jews, 1932–1940
    chapter 3 Indifference, Hostility, and Pragmatism: an X-Ray of Chilean Right-Wing Attitudes toward Jews, 1932–1940 Gustavo Guzmán 1 Introduction Convened to discuss the issue of Jewish refugees, the Évian Conference (July 1938) raised two main positions in Chilean politics. While leftists and centrists sympathized with Jews, asking President Alessandri to increase their immigration quotas, rightists remained indifferent to the Jewish plight, reject- ing any attempt to expand their numbers. A leading voice in this regard was Conservative senator Maximiano Errázuriz Valdés, according to whom Chile did not need traders or intermediaries but farmers. “Sadly,” he said, “Jews are not farmers but traders who will come to compete [with our businessmen] and become intermediaries.” Additionally, echoing a discourse that was com- mon at the time in other countries as well, their religion made them “elements difficult to assimilate” and likely “to create a hitherto unknown ethnic prob- lem.” Indeed, the ultimate responsibility for Jew-hatred, he stressed, lay with “the Jews themselves,” as “they create problems where previously they did not exist.” Consequently, Errázuriz Valdés asked the government “to restrict as much as possible the arrival of Jews and not to increase their quotas.”1 Similarly, after Kristallnacht (November 1938), while the leftist and centrist press largely condemned the pogrom, speaking of “barbarism” and “savagery,”2 influential right-wing media such as El Mercurio and El Diario Ilustrado embraced a less sympathetic approach. Although it might be “painful from a human point of view,” El Mercurio stressed, “the reasons that led the German government to expel members of the Jewish race are not for Chileans to dis- cuss because they belong to the right of every nation to govern itself.”3 El Diario 1 Senado de Chile, Boletín de sesiones ordinarias 1938, vol.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography 235 II.3. The Deepening Crisis: March 1938 – October 1938 1938 is always seen as a watershed in the persecution of the ‘Jews’1 as it was the year when geopolitical changes brought more ‘Jews’ under German rule and when antisemitic policies were substantially radicalized. Yet even before the Anschluss, the Nazis were becoming increasingly worried about the slow pace of Jewish emigration. Their own policies, combined with immigration restrictions elsewhere, had served to limit the numbers able to leave. At the same time, Nazi strategy itself was contradictory, with the ‘Jews’ being pressed to leave while simultaneously being stripped of the assets that would have made them acceptable immigrants in other countries. Nevertheless, individual emigration remained the Nazi strategy for making Germany judenfrei and in general, everything possible was done to hasten the emigration of the – albeit increasingly impoverished – ‘Jews’. A number of official instructions were issued to facilitate this. For example, the police record of Jewish emigrants could be ‘cleansed’ to make them more acceptable to countries of immigration. Professional qualifications that were in demand were also included on passports, and the Handwerkskammern were authorised to issue papers certifying the professional knowledge of Jewish emigrants.2 A partial solution to the fundamental contradictions in Nazi policy was found in more overt state violence and schemes for collective forced emigration that removed individual initiative or choice in destination. The latter element was tried at the beginning of 1938.

  • Escape to Shanghai: 1938-1940
    Flight to Shanghai, 1938-1940: The Larger Setting Avraham Altman and Irene Eber Between November 1938 and August 1939, approximately 20,000 Central European refugees, most of them Jews, landed in Shanghai. They had sailed on German, Italian, and Japanese ships and, in the short span of eight months, constituted a massive exodus. What, however, is the background to this phenomenon, and, moreover, why did it rapidly diminish after August 1939?1 In order to answer these questions, we must look at the larger setting within which this process took place—something that, until now, has not been investigated. The Background In 1933, when Hitler came to power, there were around 500,000 Jews in Germany and 185,000 in Austria.2 In contrast to the gradual pressure over several years that had been exerted on the Jews in Germany to leave the country, when Austria came under German rule in March 1938, the Jews were immediately and ruthlessly persecuted. By launching an organized terror campaign against them—confiscating their property, depriving them of all means of livelihood, and incarcerating Jewish men in concentration camps—the Nazis forced the Austrian Jews to 1This paper is part of a larger project on the Jewish communities in modern China under Japanese occupation. The authors wish to thank the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and its Truman Research Institute for their partial support of this research. Irene Eber thanks the J.K. Fairbank Research Center, Harvard University, where additional research was carried out in 1996-1997, and the Andover Newton Theological School where she was Visiting Judson Professor.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 7 k - b l + - ABSTRACT, Slessor, Douglas, Spaight etal justified the Munich Agreement as providing a 'breathing space' to accelerate British rearmament. Whilst Chamberlain realised Britain's military weakness, feared a German 'knock-out blow', and underestimated the Czech Army^ His prime motive was to prevent, not postpone, a war which he abhorred. Nevertheless he realised the need to accelerate defensive measures such as fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft guns and civil defence. A n x ie tie s th a t Germany would invade Holland, s e iz in g strategic airfields and the Channel Parts, over ruled the policy of 'limited Liability'. French pressure, and Lord Halifax's support enabled Hore-Belisha to raise equipment for an enlarged field force. Chamberlain opposed conscription for fear of alienating the trade unions; whilst he believed a Ministry of Supply would lose industrialists' co-operation with rearmament and undermine economic recovery.
