Question

why did jewish emigration from germany sharply increase from 1933 to 1939?

germany had asked non - aryans to relocate to other countries.

jewish persecution was escalating in german - controlled areas.

other countries offered better political opportunities for jewish people.

racial prejudice was decreasing in countries around the world.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Germany did not "ask" non - Aryans to relocate; they were persecuted and forced, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: From 1933 (when Hitler came to power) to 1939, Nazi - led Jewish persecution in German - controlled areas escalated (e.g., Nuremberg Laws, Kristallnacht), pushing Jews to emigrate. This is correct.
• Option 3: Most countries had restrictive immigration policies for Jews at that time, not offering better political opportunities.
• Option 4: Racial prejudice was widespread globally, not decreasing.

Answer:

B. Jewish persecution was escalating in German - controlled areas.
