Britain and the illegal immigration to Palestine from France following world war II

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

After World War II, Britain mounted an intensive campaign to convince the French authoriies to prevent illegal sailings of Jewish immigrants from French ports to Palestine. The British had to face the empathy that was felt, particularly by French Socialist leaders, for the survivors of the Holocaust and the anger that some French officials harboured toward Britain Despite the rapprochement between Britain and France during the course of 1947, no appreciable change occurred in France's policy in regard to the illegal sailings.
