Q. Where did Jews during the Holocaust escape to? Where there any famous ones?
Asked by jennifer!! - Tue May 15 12:12:09 2007 - - 12 Answers - 2 Comments

A. At first they moved out of Germany to neighboring countries like France, Spain England. However, as soon as the situation got worse and Hitler became more determined to gain world power many Jews then moved all around the world, where countries would take then. For example the United States took many Jews, and i believe that after a while they would no longer accept any more from entering the US.
