Between 1933 and 1938 large numbers of German refugees sought refuge in France. Julius Fein examines how France responded, looking closely at the debates inside the Quai d'Orsay, the French foreign ministry.
Fein shows how the Quai d'Orsay tried to reconcile two pressures. One was the republican principle that France must help the persecuted. The other was a set of limits on how many people the country would accept, including economic depression, mass unemployment, antisemitism and hostility towards Germans.
The book suits historians of interwar Europe and readers interested in refugee policy. Lexington Books published it in 2021.ISBN-13: 9781793622280.
