Policy on Immigration and Refugees

The United Kingdom is still a world power in the 1930s, thanks in part to its many colonies. Politically, it is dominated by the Conservative Party, as represented by two of the three prime ministers during this period: Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain. Until 1939, it pursues a policy of appeasement with Nazi Germany. The UK is not as affected by the Great Depression as is Germany or the US, but it does experience social unrest and demonstrations against food shortages. In 1932, 2.85 million Britons are unemployed.

The government is determined to prevent refugees from competing with citizens for jobs or from becoming burdens on the state. Thus the government generally permits entry only to applicants with sufficient assets, financial guarantees (often from British Jewish aid organizations), or a work permit. However, permits are granted only for jobs that British workers do not want. Domestic servants, for example, have relatively good chances of receiving permits.

These strict admission criteria are a continuation of the immigration policy enshrined in the 1920 “Aliens Order.” According to this policy refugees are subject to the same conditions as all other immigrants. After the “Anschluss” (annexation) of Austria, an additional visa requirement for Austrians and Germans makes entry into the UK even more difficult.

Only after the November pogrom (“Kristallnacht”) are entry conditions temporarily relaxed. In the few months immediately following the pogrom, about 40,000 people seek refuge in the UK, including almost 10,000 children and teenagers who come to the country on the “Kindertransports.”

With the outbreak of World War II, this wave of arrivals ends abruptly. German citizens are now admitted only in exceptional cases. Refugees already in the country fall under general suspicion because of their German citizenship. Immediately, investigations are begun and the first internments take place. Ultimately, from May 1940 onward, the British government resorts to mass imprisonment of “Enemy Aliens,” a measure that also affects many refugees. Over the course of the war, most of the 30,000 people held in camps under this measure are released.

In the 1930s, there is also talk of resettling refugees in British colonies. This does not occur at any significant scale: At most, 3,000 Jews find refuge in British colonies by 1939.

Delegation

Edward Turnour, 6th Earl Winterton

* 4 April 1883 London   † 26 August 1962 Midhurst

Turnour is born into the Irish aristocracy. When his father dies in 1907, Turnour inherits the title of Earl Winterton. In 1904, while studying law at Oxford, he is elected to the British Parliament. Representing the Conservative Party, he serves as an MP for 47 years.

During World War I, he takes part in several battles, including in Gallipoli. Afterwards, back in politics, he assumes the post of under-secretary of state for India in 1922, a post he holds almost continuously through 1929.

Under Neville Chamberlain, Turnour is named Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a minister without portfolio, in 1937. In this role, he leads the British delegation to Évian one year later.

Afterwards he takes over the chairmanship of the Intergovernmental Committee for Refugees that arises from the conference. He holds this position until 1945. Turnour is considered an anti-Zionist. His elevation to the British nobility entitles him to a seat in the House of Lords in 1952.

Sir (Charles) Michael Palairet

* 29 September 1882 Berkeley   † 5 August 1956 Allerford, Minehead

Palairet comes from a family of military officers with Huguenot roots. In 1905, he begins a diplomatic career, which takes him to Rome, Vienna, Paris and Athens in the following years. During his subsequent assignment in Asia in 1923, he experiences the Great Kantoōearthquake in Japan, in which more than 140,000 people die and the Tokyo Embassy is destroyed.

After returning to Europe, Palairet becomes a British envoy in Romania and Sweden, among other locations. In December 1937 he is transferred to Austria, where he experiences the political tensions preceding the “Anschluss” (annexation of Austria). After the UK closes its embassy, he temporarily returns to London and then attends the Évian Conference in the summer of 1938.

As an envoy in Athens, he witnesses the Wehrmacht’s invasion of Greece in 1941 and flees to Cairo with the Greek government. Two years later, however, shortly after his appointment as ambassador, he returns to London.

Sir John Evelyn Shuckburgh

* 18 March 1877 Eton   † 8 February 1953 London

Shuckburgh is born in Eton; his father teaches classical philology at the renowned Eton College. He begins a career in civil service in 1900, starting out in various functions and departments in the India Office, the ministry responsible for British India.

In 1921 Shuckburgh takes over leadership of the Middle East Department in the Colonial Office; the department oversees matters in the territories of the former Ottoman Empire, for which the United Kingdom has assumed the mandate administration on behalf of the League of Nations after World War I. Shuckburgh’s area of responsibility thus also includes Palestine, whose Arab population steadily increases its resistance to Jewish immigration during the mid-1930s.

Although the Palestinian question shall not be raised at the Évian Conference, in keeping with the official wishes of Britain, Shuckburgh is an advisor with the British delegation. In 1940, he assumes the office of Governor of Nigeria for two years.

Roger Mellor Makins

* 3 February 1904 London   † 9 November 1996 Basingstoke

The son of a brigadier general, Makins studies history and law at Oxford before embarking on a diplomatic career in 1928. In the 1930s, his career brings him to the United States – where he marries the daughter of an American politician – and to Oslo.

At the time of the Évian Conference, his duties at the Foreign Office cover matters related to the League of Nations; in 1939 he takes over leadership of the Western Europe Department. During World War II, he serves as assistant to Harold Macmillan, the British representative in the Allied headquarters in the Mediterranean region.

After the war, Makins plays an important role in British-American relations, first as minister (1945–47) and later as ambassador (1953–56) in Washington. His areas of expertise include economic and nuclear power issues; he becomes chair of the British Atomic Energy Agency in 1960. In 1964 he is appointed to the House of Lords. He later becomes chancellor of the University of Reading, a position he holds for more than 20 years.

Victor Alexander Cazalet

* 27 December 1896 London   † 4 July 1943 Gibraltar

Cazalet is born into a respected family of merchants with connections to the British royal family; Queen Victoria is his godmother.

Following World War I, during which he serves in France, Cazalet studies history at Oxford. In 1924 he is elected to the British Parliament representing the Conservative Party; he serves as an MP until the end of his life. However, he never achieves a great political career.

In the 1930s, he repeatedly stands up for the persecuted Jews in Parliament and in newspaper articles. He supports a Jewish mass settlement, for example in Northern Rhodesia. Cazalet attends the Évian Conference as Lord Winterton’s private secretary.

Even during World War II, he remains an important advocate for European Jewry and a critic of the Allies’ handling of the Holocaust.

From 1940, he serves as a liaison officer with the Polish government in exile. During a 1943 trip to the Middle East with Polish Prime Minister in Exile Władysław Sikorski, he dies in a plane crash.
