Purpose : Aims to explore the key reactions of the Allies, with particular emphasis on its failures or inaction.

3) The Allies were hesitant in pursuing specific rescue policies for the Jewish victims of Nazi Germany who were seeking refuge abroad. Tens of thousands of Jews sought to enter the United States, but they were prevented from doing so by the strict immigration policy.
Evidence: Conferences held in Evian were unhelpful. The countries invited were told not to alter their immigration
