jewishvirtuallibrary:Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia being marched away by British police at Croydon airport, London; 1939. xOn the 29th of March, 1939 nearly 400 Jewish refugees arrived in London on different airlines, all clamoring for asylum. Those who could prove they had money in British banks and were wealthy were allowed to stay, but those who did not were sent back to mainland Europe where they awaited persecution by German authorities. Said one British official on the matter, “Nobody knows who the people are. They are a mystery crowd, many had little money and could not give satisfactory reasons why they should be allowed to land in England.” -- source link
