During the WWII era, three competing Jewish organizations in London approached the British government to initiate actions to assist European Jews. British bureaucrats rejected the requests in favor of maintaining a strict immigration blockade against Continental Jews. This study examines disturbing questions raised by these events, looking at the vacillation of the competing Jewish leadership in Britain and asking what might have been achieved if personal antagonisms has been put aside to create a combined approach.
