Abstract:
Until the end of 1941, the German bureaucracy (in contrast to elements in the Nazi party) saw the solution to the "Jewish problem" in emigration. The Reichsstelle, a pre-Nazi government agency for the regulation of emigration and guidance of emigrants, took over responsibility for Jewish emigration from 1933 on. It cooperated with the Hilfsverein der deutschen Juden by accrediting the Hilfsverein's emigration counselors and by providing them with information on conditions in the countries of immigration. The two agencies were in agreement that emigration should be carried out in a planned and orderly manner. However, the mass arrests in 1939 forced Jews to flee to any destination at any price, and showed that the former policy had perhaps been dangerously optimistic.
