Abstract:
Surveys the stages of preparation for emigration to Palestine which evolved amongst Jews in Germany between 1933-40. The realization that the basis of Jewish life in Germany was being eroded was not widespread among the Jews in the spring of 1933. In the face of growing persecution, it became a more viable option, favored by the German government but opposed by the British Mandate government. During the 1930s, classes were organized for learning Hebrew and training institutions were established for teaching agricultural or crafts skills, the latter by both Zionist and non-Zionist groups. From 1936, under the shadow of the Nuremberg Laws, the Jewish leadership staked everything on emigration. Discusses the Aliyah organized by the Palestine Bureau in Berlin, the matter of property transfer through the Transfer Agreement, and the illegal immigration to Palestine. Gives examples of individuals and their experiences.
