Thanks to the creativity of the Aliyah Youth Office staff, whole groups of future Palestinian agricultural pioneers left the Protectorate despite the situation. They did not go to inaccessible Palestine, but to third countries, where they were first to be practically retrained as collectivist farmers.
Successful emigration projects went to Britain and Denmark, and it was almost possible to negotiate similar projects in Sweden and Croatia. But for every available place there were several dozen applicants. The borders of the free world remained closed.
