The prosecution of Jewish citizens in Nazi Germany made many Jews try to emigrate. German authorities imposed high taxes on emigration and many western nations were not particularly welcoming. Therefore, the number of emigrating Jews dropped over the years.

In 1940 it was briefly discussed to deport Jews to Madagascar, but the plan was not viable due to the British naval blockade.

In late 1941, early 1942 it was agreed to deport all German and Eastern Jews to Camps in the east were they were to be murdered by hard labour, shooting or in the gas chambers.

I was under the impression that the Nazis wanted the Jews gone from Europe and commited the early war crimes in 1941 (eg Babyn jar on Sept 30, 1941) mostly due to their unwillingness to provide for the high numbers of Jews in the newly conquered territories and the practical impossibility to bring them further east.

In this context, it would seem logical to allow for emigration, as long as the Jew leaves his fortune in Germany and finds a place that accepts him. Does the probition of emigration mean that there was even more murderous intend in the German authorities?
