In 1939, there were still 225 Jews living in Regensburg. Seventy-six of them had succeeded in leaving the city by the summer of 1942: about half immigrated to the US, Eretz Israel (Mandatory Palestine) and Britain, and the remainder departed for a variety of destinations, principally in Europe and South America. Even though many had left, the number of Jews in Regensburg did not change as Jews from other places in Germany moved there in order to escape persecution.The Jews who stayed in Regensburg were forced to live in two buildings designated for Jews only, one of them being the senior citizens’ home. They remained there until shortly before the deportations to the East began.
