In the years 1933-1941 the U.S. accepted about 250,000 refugees from Nazi Germany and from Austria. That is more than "a few thousand". Having said that, many would agree that it was not enough, given the gravity of the situation. No other country took in as many. (The Soviet Union accepted about 200,000 but for the most part only Communists ... Next is Britain, which took in 71,000).

The above figures are for all refugees from Nazi Germany and Austria and include non-Jews.

How many Jews came to the United States from Europe during World War 2?

During the period of World War 2 after the United States entered the fray in December 1941, only a few thousand Jews were admitted as immigrants to the U.S. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum states that more than 200,000 Jews found refuge in the United States from 1933 to 1945, but most of the Jewish refugees were admitted before the end of 1941. This may be an over-statement: the Gilder-Lehrman Institute of American History states that between 1933 and 1945 the United States took in only 132,000 Jewish refugees, only ten percent of the quota allowed by law.
