Evian Conference
From July 6–15, 1938, delegates from 32 countries and representatives from refugee aid organizations attended the Evian Conference in Évian-les-Bains, France.
They discussed options for settling Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany as immigrants elsewhere in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. The United States and most other countries, however, were unwilling to ease their restrictive immigration laws and policies.
