I might have an oral history angle on this question. It's from a Jewish refugee named Stephan, He currently lives near Nijmegen, the.

He was from Poland and he lived in Krakow. The caretaker his parents hired (he was 4 when the war started) took on the role of his mother. Both his parents where put on transport to concentration camps.

His caretaker took him to a rural village, where they didn't know anyone. They managed to stay there for the duration of the war. They practiced avoidance of any type.

He managed to live out the war. Unsure about the fate of his parents. The main thing was that the au pair really lived up to the role of parent. Apparently three polish people where really incentiveced to give up Jewish people.

They were very lucky in the fact that his mum managed to flee transport and the father managed to survive auswich and mauthousen.

But to answer your question, from this narrow perspective of one isolated case: yes one could travel around as a prosecuted person, but it was very very hard. Stephan only survived because his maid was determined enough to put him forward as her own child. Even then it was very hard. And very anxty.

Stephan is very lucky in that both his parents managed to survive, somehow and they reconnected after the war. He moved to the Netherlands because he didn't feel the Russian attitude towards Jews was positive during the occupation years.

I don't know if I can properly source this, as it is oral history. But it's part of liberation route Europe's oral history conventions 'history though their eyes' account from Stephan Scotnicki.
