 stify; line-height: normal;">By the end of 1938, more than two-thirds of th
 e Jewish community was still located in Germany. In this paper we estimate 
 the push and pull factors involved in the outmigration of Jews facing perse
 cution in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1942. We build a structural model of mi
 gration under uncertainty on the life threat and then we perform counterfac
 tual policy experiments in order to quantify how migration restrictions in 
 destination countries affected the fate of Jews. Our analysis particularly 
 highlights the role of social learning and information spillovers by assess
 ing how migration outflows within social networks provided a signal of the 
 severity of the threat to the peers. The empirical investigation makes use 
 of a unique dataset that records the migration history of almost the entire
  universe of Jews living in Germany over the period.</p>
