Between 1933 and 1941 the U.S. accepted about 250,000 refugees from Germany and Austria and a small number fleeing the Nazis from other countries. The majority of these were Jews (as defined by the Nazis), but some of the refugees were political opponents of the Nazis and were not Jews.

Did they dominican republic help Jews during the holocaust?

Yes, the Dominican Republic played a notable role in providing refuge to Jews during the Holocaust. In the early 1930s, under the leadership of President Rafael Trujillo, the Dominican Republic offered to resettle Jewish refugees, allowing around 800 Jews to immigrate to the country. While the initiative was motivated by various factors, including Trujillo's desire to populate and develop the region, it provided a safe haven for those fleeing persecution in Europe. However, the overall number of Jewish refugees helped was relatively small compared to the vast number who needed assistance during that time.


How did the democratic nations deal with the Jewish refuges?

With high unemployment in the 1930s almost all countries restricted the number of refugees that they accepted. For example, in Britain refugees had to have a financial guarantee (from themselves, family, friends or a charity) that they would not become a burden on the public ...
