Summary/Abstract: Based on unpublished and published archival material of Yugoslav provenance, as well as available relevant literature, this paper analyzes the efforts of the Association of Yugoslav Jews in the USA to repeal two anti-Jewish decrees of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1940, during a portion of World War II and the implementation of the Holocaust in the territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1942–1943). The main focus is placed on the activities of the Association of Yugoslav Jews in the USA aimed at influencing the Yugoslav government-in-exile to revoke the anti-Jewish decrees (1942–1943). Special attention is given to the questionable legal nature of the annulment of the anti-Jewish decrees carried out by the Ministerial Council of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on June 2, 1943.
