520			_aIn 1938 applications for asylum began to arrive directly to the colonial authorities of the Gold Coast (former name of Ghana) from German and Austrian Jews and then from other European countries where persecution was intensifying. This paper studies the attitude of the colonial authorities concerning these potential refugees and analyzes the reasons for the systematic refusal their demands met with. It situates this episode in the wider context of the British and Colonial Office policies, while emphasizing the specific situation of the Gold Coast in which part of the both traditional and modern elites got together to show their solidarity towards the European Jews. Lastly, the paper deals with the few Jewish refugees who managed to find refuge in this territory but without going through the colonial authorities directly.
