They got discriminated against because they were German, even though they were also Jewish. At that time, people feared and detested Germans, due to the war, and even though these Germans were Jewish, they still spoke with the German accent. Because they spoke German, they were ostracized and harassed.

German-Jew immigrants faced discrimination, not to the degree of course as in Germany.Those who were allowed in,and there were not that many,had to know an American who would vouch for their good character. American telephone books were gold to the Jewish people.If they could produce an American "relative", or "friend" they had a chance of leaving Germany. Those who escaped came here virtually penniless, and had to leave homes,cars, clothes, pets, bank accounts, businesses, and many had to leave close relatives to save their own lives. The US had a limit to the number of Jews they allowed in our country. Many other countries did also.Yes, the Jewish people suffered great hardship during the war, and most never saw parents or other relatives again. Hope this helps with your homework.
