Postscript. 330 2 $a"Greg Burgess's important new study explores the short life of the High Commission for Refugees (Jewish and Other) Coming from Germany, from its creation by the League of Nations in October 1933 to the resignation of High Commissioner, James G. McDonald, in December 1935. The book relates the history of the first stage of refugees from Germany through the prism of McDonald and the High Commission. It analyses the factors that shaped the Commission's formation, the undertakings the Commission embarked upon and its eventual failure owing to external complications. The League of Nations and the Refugees from Nazi Germany argues that, in spite of the Commission's failure, the refugees from Nazi Germany and the High Commission's work mark a turn in conceptions of international humanitarian responsibilities when a state defies standards of proper behaviour towards its citizens. From this point on, it was no longer considered sufficient or acceptable for states to respect the sovereign rights of another if the rights of citizens were being violated. Greg Burgess discusses this idea, amongst others, in detail as part of what is a crucial v. for all scholars and students of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust and modern Jewish history "--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJewish refugees$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical refugees$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDiplomats$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aJews$xPersecutions$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical persecution$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 607 $aGermany$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aJewish refugees$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical refugees$xHistory 615 0$aDiplomats 615 0$aJews$xPersecutions$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical persecution$xHistory 676 $a943/.004924009043 700 $aBurgess$b Greg$f1957-$0511548 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154844103321 996 $aThe League of Nations and the refugees from Nazi Germany$91905242 997 $aUNINA
