Nearly the New World tells the extraordinary story of Jewish refugees who overcame persecution and sought safety in the West Indies from the 1930s through the end of the war. At the same time, it gives an unsparing account of the xenophobia and bureaucratic infighting that nearly prevented their rescue-and that helped to seal the fate of countless other European Jews for whom escape was never an option"-- |cProvided by publisher. 530 Electronic version(s) available online. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Jews |zWest Indies, British |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jewish refugees |zWest Indies, British |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJews |zWest Indies, British. 650 0 Immigrants |zWest Indies, British |xHistory |y20th century. 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 650 7 Flucht. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4017598-4 650 7 Juden. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028808-0 650 7 Judenverfolgung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028814-6 651 7 Europa. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4015701-5 651 7 Westindien. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4079228-6 776 08 |iOnline version:Newman, Joanna. |tNearly the new world. |dNew York : Berghahn, 2019 |z9781789203349 |w(DLC) 2019026284 856 41 |3Electronic version(s) available. |zHosted by ProQuest |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=5888679 852 0 |bstacks |hF2133 |i.N49 2019 852 |bebook
