Why Didn’t They Leave? Flight and Rescue during the Holocaust

Why did so many Jews become trapped in the areas that came under the domination of Nazi Germany and its partners?  Why didn’t many more flee? This lecture addresses the situation Jews were in before the war in Greater Germany, and the advent of mass systematic murder, as well as afterwards in several different countries where the Holocaust unfolded. Join Yad Vashem Senior Historian Dr. Robert Rozett as he explores why flight was far from simple, whether because of bureaucracy, especially before the war, or the dangers involved in flight during the war.
