When Hitler ruled Germany, which country received the most Jewish refugees?

When Hitler ruled Germany, China received the most Jewish refugees.

From1May 1937 to1May 1940, how many life-saving visas did He Fengshan issue to Jews? It is difficult to accurately verify. So far, there are no accurate figures. The calculation of the visa number of the original passport provided by a Jewish survivor shows that he obtained the visa number of 238 in June 1938, while another passport on July 20th shows that the visa number has exceeded 1200, while the visa date of Hans Kraus is193810/kloc-.

According to this calculation, there are at least thousands of passports issued by He Fengshan. On average, more than 500 copies are distributed every month, sometimes reaching 900 copies. At that time, a ship made seven round trips, carrying 3,600 European Jewish refugees, and came to Shanghai, a haven in the East.

At that time, Jews with China consulate visa could not only leave Vienna legally, but also use Chinese visa as a life-saving amulet in times of crisis. At that time, Shanghai became the only international metropolis in the world that opened its doors to Jewish refugees. At its peak, it reached more than 30,000 people, exceeding the total number of Jewish refugees accepted by Canada, Australia, India, South Africa and New Zealand.

1938 After the Nazi "165438+ October Massacre", more people applied for visas. By September of 1939, 70% of Austrian Jews fled, and the number of Jews admitted to China reached 18000. From this calculation, the number of visas issued is at least several thousand. There is also a book in Cuba and other places that 4,000 Vienna Jews fled to Palestine with Shanghai visas.
