Jews and Other Foreigners - Manchester and the Rescue of the Victims of European Fascism, 1933-40 (Paperback)


Drawing on a wide range of documentary and oral sources, including interviews with refugees, this book explores the responses in Manchester to those threatened by the rise of Fascism in Europe.
