Product Description
On the eve of World War II, several hundred persecuted Jews, mainly from Nazi-occupied Vienna, tried to escape to Northern Ireland. They had learned of a Stormont scheme to tackle the region's chronic unemployment by offering financial support to people who could create jobs. Almost all applicants were rejected, and more than 125 of these men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust. Based on extensive archival research, unpublished family memoirs and letters, and interviews with Holocaust survivors and their descendants, this comprehensive account describes the frightening experiences of applicants, and the efforts of émigrés to save their trapped relatives, as well as the tireless work of some Irish people to rescue Jews. It also explores how the small numbers of refugees admitted to Northern Ireland made a major contribution to its economic, social, and cultural life
