The poster said prior to WWII. He is partly correct. There were no mass killings of Jews in Germany prior to WWII, and hundreds of thousands did leave the country due to the restrictive Nuremberg Laws passed in 1935, stripping them of their citizenship and forbidding them from practicing law, journalism, teaching, etc. It was a period during which Germany did thrive, as he stated. It wouldn't last for long, however...
This is true, Hitler was trying to get rid of them by exporting them.

I think the US was very restrictive about the numbers it let in. Once the war started the emmigration stopped.
