This book is unique in that rather than describing the historical details of the Holocaust, it examines how the Holocaust was allowed to happen.
In July 1938 the United States, Great Britain and thirty other countries participated in a vital conference at vian-les-Bains, France, to discuss the persecution and possible emigration of the European Jews, specifically those caught under the anvil of Nazi atrocities. However, most of those nations rejected the pleas then being made by the Jewish communities, thus condemning them to the Holocaust.
There is no doubt that the vian conference was a critical turning point in world history. The disastrous outcome of the conference set the stage for the murder of six million people. Today we live in a world defined by turmoil with a disturbing rise of authoritarian governments and ultra right-wing nationalism. The plight of refugees is once more powerfully affecting public attitudes towards those most in need. Now, on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of the Second World War, it's time to reflect on the past to ensure we never again make the same mistakes.
Tragedy at vian also shines a spotlight on some of the astonishing and courageous stories of heroic efforts of individuals and private organisations who, despite the decisions made at vian, worked under extremely dangerous conditions, frequently giving their own lives to assist in the rescue of the Jewish people.
