DaveA - you said it yourself: When is enough enough?

A jewish person growing up in Germany before the second world war also considered Germany home.

I am not bound by a place, just as I am not bound by a job not a a philosophy. You say that one will be a foreigner in that new "home" but after 43 years in this country, the mindsets are still foreign to me. I also do not see being foreign as being a problem, I am a loner and my wife and kids make friends easily.

The idea of building a better future at home is noble, but I feel like a Jewish person in Germany, no matter what you do, the big Nazi machine will do what it does because you are already a foreigner in your own country. By moving away you get to live out your life in relative harmony. Now, some would say that there is crime and violence everywhere, fair enough, but again, it is like living in Germany and saying, oh, its ok to live here, my friends dissapear, and I hear terrible stories, but its ok because there is crime and violence elsewhere.
