    During the 1930s, hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees tried to escape Europe and immigrate to the United States, but not everyone was successful. As the German government started to restrict the ability of Jews to earn a living, own property, and go to school, it became difficult to leave. It was also challenging to find a country willing to accept them. This video is appropriate for classroom use.
