Which event served as a signal to the Jews in Germany and Austria to leave as soon possible?

Answer 1

The most important signal for many Jews was the 'Night of Broken Glass' (Kristallnacht) of 9-10 November 1938, when Jews and Jewish businesses were attacked in a government-sponsored outburst of anti-Jewish violence. About 30,000 Jews were seized and sent to concentration camps. (This outburst followed the assassination in Paris of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a Polish Jew resident in Germany. His parents had been dumped on the German-Polish border).

There were many signs. Laws were passed denying Jews citizenship, forbidding them to marry non-Jewish Germans, etc. For those Jews employed in the public sector, it was their dismissal in April 1933.

Unfortunately, because of the amount of people who wanted *out* of Germany, many countries were stiffening their Immigration policies, so it was often hard for them to find a place to go.

Answer 2

There were many signs. Laws were passed denying Jews citizenship, forbidding them to marry non-Jewish Germans, etc. One of the later signs was a very large one: kristalnacht (night of the broken glass) was a concerted attack on Jews and their places of business, destroying, looting, arresting, etc. Unfortunately, because of the amount of people who wanted *out* of Germany, many countries were stiffening their immigration policies, so it was often hard for them to find a place to go.

Answer 3

The most dangerous of all events in Nazi Germany was the Novemberprogrome in 1938, also known as 'Kristallnacht' (literally night of broken glass). In this particular night, the homes of the Jewish citizens were destroyed, set on fire, and the people themselves were beaten brutally. That night was the one that convinced the Jewish citizens to leave Germany for a better place.
