Initially an important Middle East collaborator with Nazi Germany, Iran became a safe haven for European refugees and a regional departure point for Jewish migration to Palestine during World War II. Haurand’s article From „Nazi Collaborator to Host Country – Iran during World War II“ analyzes the little studied political and social history of wartime Iran. Using archival records as well as interviews and memoirs, Haurand’s article draws a complex picture of the conditions under which Jews lived and found refuge in Iran shortly before and during World War II.
