Biltmore Conference

The Biltmore Conference took place from May 9 to May 11, 1942 in New York City in the U.S. state of New York at the Biltmore Hotel instead. The conference was announced as associate Zionist Congress, there could take place this year due to the war no Zionist Congress.

Mostly it was a matter of the request for an opening of Palestine to refugees from occupied Europe by the Nazis. The conference was held under the leadership of David Ben- Gurion and found that controlled by Great Britain Palestine should be Jewish property. This alarmed some American liberal Jews who founded an anti-Zionist organization called "The American Council for Judaism " in late 1942.
