Clips from the newsreel News of the Day No. 289 of July 13, 1938 and footage of News of the Day, July 1938, February and October 1939
On July 13, 1938, the 289th News of the Day broadcast of California media-tycoon William Randolph Hearst covers the refugee conference in Évian. Although the bi-weekly newsreel has been produced with sound since 1929, only a silent version of the report and other footage on the conference and Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees has remained.
