How did nazi Germany restrict emigration of German Jews?

Answer 1

In September 1941 the emigration of Jews from Nazi Germany was forbidden altogether. Before that it was generally possible for them to leave Germany provided that they had somewhere to go to and could actually get there. One of the biggest restrictions was the reluctance of other countries to accept Jews.

They had to pay extortionate sums for permission to leave Germany ... Please bear in mind that with the start of World War in September 1939 international communications were severely disrupted.

Incidentally, in 1939 or 1940 rules were introduced restricting the number of Jews emigrating from any one Jewish household.

Answer 2

They needed somewhere to go to: it wasn't enough to get out of Germany.

Practically all countries had strict Immigration quotas 1930s and there was no such thing as a right to asylum at the time. Most countries would only admit refugees who had jobs to go to and/or could provide financial guarantees. Governments were not willing to admit people likely to become a burden.

With the outbreak of war in 1939 travel and international communications became much more difficult, too, and in August 1941 Nazi Germany forbade the emigration of Jews altogether as the regime was moving towards the 'Final Solution'.
