How many countries allowed Jewish refugee's to enter and how many entered each country?

The following countries admitted significant numbers of Jewish refugees in the period 1933-1941: * The U.S. * Britain (till 1939) * France (till 1939) * The Netherlands (till 1940) * Belgium (till 1940) * Switzerland * Czechoslovakia (till 1938) * Australia (till 1939) * Sweden * Argentina (till 1938) * Soviet Union (Communists only, for the most part) * The British Mandate of Palestine Please note that the above list is not complete. Obviously, in some cases this did not help the refugeess much. For example, France, Belgium and the Netherlands were invaded by Germany in 1940 ... and refugees found themselves once more under Nazi control. All countries had restrictive immigration policies, which made entry difficult.

Why did the West not help Jewish refugees?

To some extent they did help. For example, between 1933 and 1941 the US admitted about 250,000 refugees from Germany and Austria, and Britain admitted 71,000 between 1933 and 1939. (These figures include refugees who were not Jewish, but were fleeing for purely political reasons). Factors influencing both governments included unemployment. Obviously, given the scale of the problem, these numbers were small.

Why did the Jews not simply flee Germany and emigrate to the US?

Many wanted to do precisely that, but in the interwar period the US had highly restrictive immigration policies and these were enforced. To put it bluntly, there were strict limits on the number of immigrants that the US admitted from Germany, Austria and other countries. By the way, there were also political, non-Jewish refugees from Germany swelling the numbers applying for entry to the US.

Should the US accept more then the 10000 refugees as stated by President Obama?

President Obama said in September 2015 that he wanted to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees, but it will take time for them (or for any refugees) to be vetted and they won't be admitted all at once. Whether more should be admitted is a question the president and congress will have to work out; but during a presidential election season, it's doubtful congress will okay large numbers of refugees, no matter where they are from. Currently, the Syrian refugee crisis is a very contentious issue, and not just in the USA: there are a number of countries in Europe and Scandinavia that have been very generous in admitting refugees, and others in the region that have been quite unwilling or even hostile. Since this is a global problem, made worse by the ongoing Syrian civil war, it is something that the United States (no matter who is president) cannot solve on its own.
