It's extremely difficult to leave a country, especially if one is prosperous and has an investment in that country. Many German Jews convinced themselves that Hitler was a passing phase and they could ride out the storm. My father's cousin expressed that view during a visit to the US in 1936.I was referring to any time prior to January 30, 1933. I 100% agree that by 1936 (or even 1934) it was not overreacting to pack up and leave. I would also agree that if the National Front were to become part of the French government and if the slightest bit of suspicious legislation were passed, then leaving France would no longer have any flavor of "overreacting." But these events have not yet happened. I also agree that one might just want to leave now even without the slightest government approval of antisemitism. I'm just saying it's not like Germany in 1934. |
