Abstract
This essay examines the various ways in which the Greek Government-in-exile in Cairo was in contact with the Jewish Agency, the World Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Committee, and groups of Greek Jews in Egypt and Palestine about issues of rescue of those Jews facing deportation from Greece to the death camps. It argues that while the Greek Government was concerned with the fate of Greek Jewry–eventually making, for example, radio broadcasts–most of the successful assistance came in the form of help to Jewish refugees rather than the rescue of those still in Greece. © 2012, © Vallentine Mitchell, 2012.
