Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject History - World History - Modern History, grade: 2,0, University of Constance (Lehrstuhl f Neuere und Neueste Geschichte), course: Proseminar: Mediterranean Mobilities - Labor, Colonialism and Violence, language: English, abstract: The following paper wants to investigate reasons, factors and influences of the migration movement towards Israel around 1930. Additionally, it wants to take a look left and right. Regarding alternative destinations in the Mediterranean the question arouses whether they were totally unfitting as migration destination or just not present in respective information sources of that time. In the first step, the author will discuss DaVanzas location-specific theory and her model of information cost, which delivers a categorized evaluation of destination selection and considers the impact of information and information availability in migration decision processes. Before combining German Jewish decisions with these theories, German Jewry of the 1930s will be elucidated in a quantitative manner. Especially demographic and economic figures will be used to get a notion of Jewish life around 1930 in Germany. After that, I will mingle the theory of location-specific capital and figures together with the migration specific information delivered by the "Korrespondenzblatt er Auswanderungs- und Siedlungswesen". This will not only sharpen the view on requirements and living conditions of different possible destinations in the Mediterranean besides Palestine, it will also function as a study, simulating Jewish decision-making on the basis of the KAS. The picture will then be completed by the question of which and how other emigration specific information in Jewish periodicals contributed to destination selection and what role politics, especially the British Empire, played in these processes.
