ALONE? Would you let your wife and child do that?
2) 2) It was state sponsored/organized - the transportation was SAFE and where they were going was SAFE(r). During transportation and upon arrival, all basic necessities were provided. There was no danger that a particular village would close its borders and leave everyone stranded. It was the same country, same rules, same language.
3) It wasn't a civil war - there was an organized national effort with a very clear goal and state could provide protection for those who left.
