With Susi safe in England, Moses tried hard to get entry visas to England for the rest of his family. Just after Susi left for England, Moses was informed by the British Consulate that he and his family would be allowed to immigrate to the British Mandate of Palestine.

In August 1939, Moses, Chane, and Sala left Berlin for Palestine. Even though the family had to abandon their money and valuables, they were excited to escape Nazi persecution.
