dc.descriptionRecalls that in 1939 George Rublee, Washington lawyer who had frequently performed special services for government was sent to Germany by Department to try to arrange for better treatment of refugees within Germany and for easier movement of refugees out of Germany to other countries; Rublee got no collaboration from German officials until [Raymond] Geist, Consul General in Berlin at the time, arranged for him to see Goering; Geist knew Goering and knew that he was one of the few men in the Nazi regime who could be reasonable at times; thereafter Rublee had a fair measure of success in his mission; Goering was anti-Semitic, but he opposed persecution of Jews because he knew it was contrary to Germany's interests abroad.en_US
