The first mass deportation of Jews from Nazi Germany occurred in less than a year before the outbreak of war . It was the forcible eviction of German Jews with Polish citizenship fuelled by the '' Kristallnacht '' . Approximately 30,000 Jews were rounded up and sent via rail to refugee camps . In July 1938 , both the United States and Britain at the Évian Conference in France refused to accept any more Jewish immigrants . The British Government agreed to take in the shipment of children arranged by the Kindertransport scheme , some 10,000 eventually arriving in the UK . All European Jews trapped under the Nazi regime became the target of Hitler 's " Final Solution to the Jewish Question "
