In 19th century Europe, how were Jews treated with regard to emigration? Were they forced or allowed to emigrate?
Were there any specific countries that actively tried to prevent Jews from leaving?
Yes, there were several countries that had laws and regulations designed to limit Jewish emigration. Russia, for example, had strict travel restrictions in place for Jews and even established a special police force to monitor their movements. Other countries, such as Germany and Austria-Hungary, required Jews to obtain special permission to emigrate and often used bureaucratic hurdles to delay or deny their requests.
