Title From forced emigration to expulsion : the Jewish exodus over the non-Slavic borders of the Reich as a prelude to the "Final Solution".
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 17 (1986) 51-92
Description Traces Nazi policy encouraging mass-emigration of German Jews between 1933-38 and steps taken to facilitate their emigration. In March 1938, the annexation of Austria became the catalyst for a general policy of expulsion. Hundreds of Jews were deported to Dachau, and Austrian Jews from neighboring states were forcibly repatriated. The Germans - i.e. the Gestapo, aided by the border authorities - helped smuggle illegal emigrants across the borders into Holland, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Discusses the diplomatic repercussions - complaints from the governments of those countries and protests in the press. After "Kristallnacht" expulsions across the western borders were halted. The policy of the Reich Center for Jewish Emigration, headed by Eichmann, was to step up emigration to Latin America or Shanghai. Some of the refugee boats were denied entry at the port of call (e.g. the "Saint Louis"), but some were successful. From January-July 1939, 70,000 Jews left the Reich.
