The "Evian Conference" occurred from July 6-15, 1938, in Evian-les-Bains, France. At this conference, delegates from 32 countries discussed resettling Jewish refugees fleeing Germany and Austria. Ultimately, only the Dominican Republic (and, later, Costa Rica) agreed to accept a significant number of refugees (up to 100,000). The United States agreed to accommodate 30,000 Jewish refugees per year – of which Austrian-born Evelyn Lauder, featured in this clip, was one.
