	Evian Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Evian Conference was convened at the initiative of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July, 1938 to discuss the problem of Jewish refugees.
		The conference failed to pass even a resolution condemning German treatment of the Jews, a fact that was widely used in Nazi propaganda.
		Before the Conference, the United States and Great Britain made an agreement with each other; the British promised not to bring up the fact that the US was not filling its immigration quotas if the Americans refrained from mentioning Palestine as a possible destination for refugees.

		This time, as opposed to the Evian Conference of 1938 which was meant to deal with Jewish refugees resulting from Hitler's anti-Semitic persecutions just prior to WWII, there is a Jewish country to represent the Jewish People.
		In the Evian Conference on Refugees Jewish refugees were not saved and the European democracies served as an unwilling catalyst for Jewish destruction.
		Let's hope so, because if the others do not then the world and especially the West has not learned as much as could be hoped for since the end of WWII even if the Jewish situation is light years better than it was in 1938.
