Question 1 • WA-World History B - Aberdeen

Why did Jewish emigration from Germany sharply increase from 1933 to 1939?

Answer
A
Germany had asked non-Aryans to relocate to other countries.
B
Jewish persecution was escalating in German-controlled areas.
C
Other countries offered better political opportunities for Jewish people.
D
Racial prejudice was decreasing in countries around the world.

Explanation

After the Nazis took power in 1933, they increasingly restricted Jewish people’s rights, excluded them from jobs and public life, and used violence and intimidation against them. The persecution intensified over the years, especially with measures such as the Nuremberg Laws and the violence of Kristallnacht in 1938, prompting more Jewish people to flee Germany. Therefore, the best answer is B, Jewish persecution was escalating in German-controlled areas.
