∙ 14y agoCuba allowed 22 Jews to land. In the end, 288 were accepted by Britain. France, Belgium and the Netherlands accepted about one-third each of the remaining 619. Of course, in May-June 1940 these refugees came under Nazi control. It is estimated that just over 200 of these survived the Holocaust. Those in Britain were, of course, beyond the reach of the Nazis, but most of the men were interned as "enemy aliens" as in the official British view they were Germans.
