<P> The United States sent no government official to the conference . Instead Roosevelt's friend, the American businessman Myron C. Taylor, represented the U.S. with James G. McDonald as his advisor . The U.S. agreed that the German and Austrian immigration quota of 30,000 a year would be made available to Jewish refugees . In the three years 1938 to 1940 the US actually exceeded this quota by 10,000 . During the same period Britain accepted almost the same number of German Jews . Australia agreed to take 15,000 over three years, with South Africa taking only those with close relatives already resident; Canada refused to make any commitment and only accepted a few refugees over this period . The Australian delegate T.W. White noted: "as we have no real racial problem, we are not desirous of importing one". The French delegate stated that France had reached "the extreme point of saturation as regards admission of refugees", a sentiment repeated by most other representatives . </P> <P> The only countries willing to accept a large number of Jews were the Dominican Republic, which offered to accept up to 100,000 refugees on generous terms, and later Costa Rica . In 1940 an agreement was signed and Rafael Trujillo donated 26,000 acres (110 km) of his properties near the town of Sosúa for settlements . The first settlers arrived in May 1940: only about 800 settlers came to Sosúa, and most later moved on to the United States . The Sosúa Virtual museum is a living memorial to the settlers . </P> <P> The result of the failure of the conference was that many of the Jews had no escape and so were ultimately subject to what was known as Hitler's "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Two months after Évian, in September 1938, Britain and France granted Hitler the right to occupy the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, which made a further 120,000 Jews stateless . In November 1938, on Kristallnacht, a massive pogrom across the Third Reich was accompanied by the destruction of over 1,000 synagogues, massacres and the arbitrary arrest of tens of thousands of Jews . In March 1939, Hitler occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia, which now took in a further 180,000 Jews, while in May 1939 the British issued the White Paper which barred Jews from entering Palestine or buying land there . Following their occupation of Poland in late 1939 and invasion of Soviet Union in 1941, the Germans embarked on a program of systematically killing all Jews in Europe . In this, the Nazis had local assistance in at least some cases . Sémelin argued that local help was virtually always required to identify and organize the removal of Jews . </P> <P> In her autobiography My Life (1975), Golda Meir described her outrage being in "the ludicrous capacity of the (Jewish) observer from Palestine, not even seated with the delegates, although the refugees under discussion were my own people ..." After the conference Meir told the press: "There is only one thing I hope to see before I die and that is that my people should not need expressions of sympathy anymore ." Chaim Weizmann was quoted in The Manchester Guardian as saying: "The world seemed to be divided into two parts--those places where the Jews could not live and those where they could not enter ." </P>
