Refuge Denied: Anne Frank and the Failure of American Immigration Policy

For many, Anne Frank is emblematic of Nazi cruelty, but her fate is also an example of America’s failed immigration policy. This presentation will examine American attitudes and polices toward Jewish refugees in 1930s and actions taken by families, such as the Franks, to flee Nazi violence.
