How did the democratic nations deal with the Jewish refuges?

With high unemployment in the 1930s almost all countries restricted the number of refugees that they accepted. For example, in Britain refugees had to have a financial guarantee (from themselves, family, friends or a charity) that they would not become a burden on the public ... Since, after 1933-34, it was very difficult for Jews to take money out of Nazi Germany, this created problems.


Is it true many Jewish people were turned away from many countries prior to the Holocaust?

Yes. From 1933 onwards (when the Nazis came to power) many Jews tried to leave Germany, but they needed somewhere (and if possible, also a job) to go to. Immigration to the U.S., Britain and most other countries was very strictly controlled, and usually refugees had to have financial guarantees (from relatives or charities) within these countries, so that they 'would not become a burden'. Different countries had, of course, different rules. Between 1933 and 1941 the U.S. admitted about 250,000 refugees from Germany and Austria; between 1933 and 1939 Britain admitted 71,000, Australia about 50,000, Canada only 5,000 (!!), New Zeland fewer than 1,000 ... (These figures are for all refugees from Germany and Austria, and therefore include political refugees, many of whom were not Jewish). The situation was desperate.
