Subject: RE: BS: Ireland-What happened?
Approximately 40,000 Jews from Austria and Germany were eventually allowed to settle in Britain before the War, in addition to 50,000 Jews from Italy, Poland, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
Beyond that the Kindertransport, an effort on the eve of war to transport Jewish children (their parents were not given visas) from Germany to Britain. Around 10,000 children were saved by the Kindertransport.

That is 100 000 Jewish refugees from the Nazis welcomed into Britain.
Which country did more Peter?
I am still proud of what my country did in those dark days.
