In addition to writing the forward to this 1941 work on the treatment of Jews in Nazi German, Wedgewood " first raised the issue of persecuted Jews in early April 1933. He asked the Colonial Secretary to relax the restrictions on emigration to Palestine to provide refuge to persecuted German Jews. For the next ten years, he continued to assert that Palestine was a very suitable place of refuge for Jews from Nazi-controlled Europe, as well as suggesting the colonies as a possible place of emigration" (Sammy Sturgess, 2018). Wedgewood apparently also personally aided around 200 Jewish refugees, including Kindertransport children, by housing them at the "Ark" on Wedgwood property.
