Fifty-three thousand East European Jews emigrated to various overseas countries during 1928, as compared with 40,000 who emigrated in 1927, according to reports submitted by the various emigrant aid agencies working in East and Central European countries to the Hicem, the combination of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society of America, the Jewish Colonization Association and the United Emigration Committee of Berlin.

It was further reported that the organization rendered legal aid to a great number of these migrants and spent $45,000 in 1927 and $100,000 in 1928 to render financial aid to the migrants who encountered many difficulties.
