| adam_text | In July of
1938,
less than five months after
Hitler s rape of Austria, Franklin D. Roosevelt
convened the International Conference on Refu¬
gees, at
Évian-les-Bains, a
small French spa on
the Swiss border. The official purpose of the con¬
ference was to deal with the growing number of
Jewish refugees fleeing for their lives from Hitler s
Europe. Thirty-two nations agreed to attend the
conference, as well as observers from the Vatican,
Jewish organizations in the United States, France
and Britain, and Zionist groups from Palestine.
The questions facing the delegates at Evian
were hard ones, both political and moral. There
were half a million German and Austrian Jews
desperate for refuge. In the rest of Europe, six
million apprehensive Jews were watching Hitler s
progress. Already the exodus from Czechoslo¬
vakia had begun. Those from Hungary and Ru¬
mania would follow.
Germany boycotted the conference, but secretly
arranged to send an unofficial representative:
Heinrich von
Benda, a
famous Austrian physician
and a Jew, who was specifically released from
prison camp to carry Hitler s secret proposal to
the conference. Under certain conditions, Hitler
would allow the Jews of Austria and Germany to
emigrate. The conditions were horrifyingly sim¬
ple. The Third Reich would sell its Jews
—
to the
nations
of the world
-
for
$250
a head,
$1,000
a
family.
Von
Benda
was to persuade the delegates
at
Évian
to deliver this ransom.
A physician to many of the crowned heads of
Europe
—
now under suspicion by many of the
very Jews he presumed to speak for
— Heinrich
von
Benda
was soon known to most of the con¬
ferees as an ambassador without portfolio. His
tragic aging figure became a familiar one as he
sought out delegate after delegate to plead his
cause. Ignoring his failing health and all oppor¬
tunities to provide for his own safety and that of
his family, he summoned every reserve of elo¬
quence and energy to convince the assembled dip¬
lomats of the brutal urgency of his mission before
it was too late.
The tragic haunting story
öf
The Mission is a
nationalization of the crucial Evian Conference,
an event until now carefully buried in the pages of
history
—
because it might have prevented the
slaughter of millions of Jews.
