and New York: Gefen, 2002. xii + 156 pp. $14.95 (paper), ISBN
978-965-229-285-8. Published on H-Judaic (October, 2004). Was
Northern Rhodesia a haven for European Jewry on the eve of
World War II? What happened to the numerous plans for Jewish
immigration to the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia
in the 1930s? And why were these documents sealed and kept
classified until recently? In Haven in Africa, Shapiro
attempts to answer these questions while leading the reader to

mass settlement of German Jewry in Africa.
