After the Kristallnacht pogroms, refugee aid committees in Great Britain pressure the government to relax restrictions to allow refugee children from Germany and Germany-annexed territories into the country. The "Kindertransport," or children's transport, will bring about 10,000 children, most Jewish, from Nazi territory to Great Britain from 1938 until 14 May 1940.
Jewish attendance at German schools has been subject to a restrictive quota since April 1933. Though most Jewish students had already left German public schools due to antisemitism, this law formally expells Jewish children from schools.
The law requires Jews to adopt a middle name--"[glossary_exclude]Israel[/glossary_exclude]" for males, "Sarah" for females--identifying them as Jewish. Jews are required to carry identification cards documenting their heritage.
An amendment to the Reich Citizenship Law ([glossary_exclude]Nuremberg Race Laws[/glossary_exclude] of 1935) decrees that Jewish physicians will be relieved of their accreditation to practice medicine as of September 30, 1938.
Convened by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Evian Conference is designed to address increasing numbers of mostly Jewish refugees fleeing the Reich. More than 30 countries attend, but no country--with the exception of the Dominican Republic-- significantly increases its immigration quota to meet the crisis of Jewish refugees.
