2 HOLOCAUST, ANTISEMITISM AND WW2 The assumption of power by the Nazis during 1933 sparked a refugee crisis. These British Government papers define the definitions, rights, responsibilities and status of those fleeing Nazi Germany. The signatories from different countries are identified towards the end of the documents. There is also a sample of a questionnaire that refugees had to complete. 1.

4 4. DAVIS, MORRIS H. [LETTER, 17 APRIL 1939] London Federation of Synagogues cm, 3 pp, text in English, typed with Davis signature in facsimile at the end of the letter. Appeal sent out to all the members of the Federation calling for donations for the sake of Jewish Children refugees. It outlines different ways that could help the refugee children. It identifies the number of refugee children that could be helped if the synagogue levy was increased by 1 penny a week or 6 pennies a week. Some rust to staples and creasing. The letter is pre-passover and links the issue to the Passover story. He starts off Ever since the usurpation of power by the Nazis in January 1933 with their vicious and satanic hatred of the Jewish people, the sufferings of our brethren in Germany have been so titanic as to dwarf by comparison even the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition. The Federation of Synagogues is one of the largest groups of synagogues in the UK. This is an important and revealing piece of ephemera at a crucial stage of the Holocaust.
