Question

my father tried to leave germany several times with a brother and a cousin, in 1934, 1936, and 1937. they sent 300 letters all over the world. the responses they got were the basis of our stamp collection. among the letters were ones to the united states. the americans wrote back to say that it would be all right for us to immigrate if we found someone to give us an affidavit. such an affidavit cost a thousand dollars back then—per person. we talked to a friend of friends who lived in the states. he was willing to give my father an affidavit, but not for the whole family. we turned him down. we would have to come up with the ticket money as well. we’d written the american government and we’d gotten an answer: they weren’t prepared to give my father special placement in the quota rules. the usa had a very rigid quota for germans, and no exceptions were made for german jews.

this passage relates to the difficulty many jewish germans faced when they
○ attempted to acquire aryan documents.
○ tried to reinstate their german citizenship.
○ were rounded up and sent to live in ghettos.
○ tried to relocate to other countries.

Explanation:

The passage describes a Jewish German family's attempts to leave Germany (relocate to other countries like the US) and the difficulties they faced, such as visa/affidavit requirements and quota rules. The other options: acquiring Aryan documents isn't mentioned; reinstating German citizenship is not the focus (they want to leave); being sent to ghettos isn't described here—they're trying to leave voluntarily, not being forced into ghettos yet. So the correct option is about relocating to other countries.

Answer:

D. tried to relocate to other countries.
