| Summary/Abstract |
The name "Paul V. McNutt" may bring several things to mind for historians of American politics and diplomacy. Some will remember his ill-fated quest to succeed Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in the White House in 1940 or his two stints as U.S. high commissioner to the Philippine Islands during the 1930s and 1940s. Others will recall his governorship of Indiana, from 1933 to 1937, when he implemented a succession of New Deal-like policies while constructing a potent political machine for the Democratic party. Still others might stress his sending of National Guard troops to restore order in strike-torn Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1935. Ironically enough, there was another side to the powerful governor reviled during the 1930s by organized labor as the Hoosier Hitler.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with the case of Greek Christian refugees who fled to Cyprus and to the Middle East during WWII in an effort to point out how their settlement was related in a way to the simultaneous movement of the Jewish refugees, mainly survivors of the Holocaust, who tried to reach Mandatory Palestine. The exodus was part of a general movement from many occupied countries, mainly Greece, Poland and Yugoslavia, towards safer areas under the control of the Allies in the Middle East and Africa. It has been estimated that more than 73,000 refugees from these countries had been established in these areas in 1944. The Greek Christian refugees were placed in Nuseirat and Moses Wells camps, while Atlit remained mainly a camp for the Jewish refugees. The majority of Greek Christian refugees were repatriated by UNRRA in Greece after the liberation of the country, in 1945 and 1946.

| Summary/Abstract |
Drawing on Israeli, German and US census data, we compare the educational levels of Jewish immigrants (and their non-Jewish family members) from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) arriving in Israel, Germany, and the US during 1990-2000. The comparison of educational levels among immigrants arriving in the three countries can be viewed as a 'natural experiment' in immigrants' destination options, whereby immigrants could choose two countries with practically no visa restriction (Israel and Germany) and one country (USA) with visa requirements. Drawing on Borjas' theory of self-selection, the paper discusses the relative attractiveness of the three countries to various types of immigrants, expecting highly educated immigrants to prefer destinations where returns on skills are higher. The findings support theoretical expectations: highly educated migrants were more likely to move to the US, where the labour market is more flexible and returns on skills are higher than in Israel or Germany.
