Jewish RefugeesThe number of emigrating Jews surged, as those who were able left the country. In the ten months following Kristallnacht, more than 115,000 Jews emigrated from the Reich. The majority went to other European countries, the US and Palestine, and at least 14,000 made it to Shanghai, China. As part of government policy, the Nazis seized houses, shops, and other property the emigres left behind. Many of the destroyed remains of Jewish property plundered during Kristallnacht were dumped near Brandenburg.
