Hmm…raises more questions than it answers. Eg why and where to?
I feel like the last time something like this happened the world was at war and some angry mustache man made the Jews disappear. Hmmm interesting.
Oh the irony
The 400,000 or so Jews from Romania who emigrated to Israel, the third largest group – numerically – compared to those from other countries, have become a bridge of good relations between Israel and Romania. They have preserved the Romanian language, customs and culture, published newspapers, magazines and books in Romanian – there is even a Romanian language section of the Writers’ Union of Israel.
According to Carmen Gavrilă and Paul Ciocoiu (EVZ.ro, 2011): “…Romania benefits from a strong lobby in Israel from the large Romanian community there, which numbers 400,000 people. In addition, Israel is one of the few countries where Romanians have an excellent image, are praised and appreciated, and the Jews who have their origins in Romania, preserve, beyond the dark spots of history, beautiful memories…”
Fun Fact – while researching this a bit, I found this little tid-bit. “On the other hand, according to data from the General Social Survey in the United States “32% of those raised Muslim no longer embrace Islam in adulthood, and 18% hold no religious identification”. This would mean that Muslims in the US have one of the highest rates of giving up religion out of all the major religions.
**Hitler rolling in his grave**
Sad for Europe, most of those Jews were educated, hard working people. They are instrumental to the success of the US. For example Jewish Americans are completely disproportionately represented in Nobel prize winners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_Nobel_laureates
I mean the german one makes kinda sense
I would emigrate too if they tried to get me to move to Birobidzhan
Spain must regain its lost Jews.
Germany couldn’t get any worse +3 million would seem positive if It was even that.

At least partly
The ones that moved in the early 70s must have really big balls

That’s because they traveled to Israel. This chart makes it like look like they were kicked out. In Bulgaria there are even monuments from the Jewish community as a thanks for helping them.
So sad to see this, considering they were part of our history for so long.
Germany now has slightly below a fourth of the pre-nazi numbers.
Though it is a bit tricky to calculate the actual number of people, since not everyone who immigrated to Germany after 1990 under the Quota Refugee Law (Kontingentflüchtlinge) are actual members of jewish congregations.
I have seen numbers between 116 000 and 225 000, depending on the counting method.
The lower number are people who are members of congregations (roughly 100 000 in congregations affiliated with the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the others mostly in the Union of Progressive Jews in Germany, and a few Chabad-Lubavitch synagogues).
The higher number is an estimate including everyone who immigrated under the providions of the Quota Refugee Law, including non-jewish spouses and people who, while being “ethnically jewish” according to soviet law, did not identify as jewish.
A lot of them just wanna move to Israel because it’s the natural thing to do.

The Zionists have moved towards the Mountain.
50 years ago more than 90% of the Jewish population that existed before WWII was already gone.
Before WWII were 756k Jews in Romania, now only 3.6k live here. That’s a reduction of 99,5%.
Not Surprised by Russia. Every single one of my mom’s Jewish friends have moved to Israel, which isn’t surprising really. Russia was basically hell in 90’s, and almost everyone who could get out, did get out.
How many people did Palestine lose?
French figure on jew population is at 475 000 people, a number higher than the jew population in 1970. The Insitute for Jewish Policy Research may use a another methodology. It may not take account of the mix jew/no-jew families.
The explanation is not that complex imo. All Jewish people can immigrate to Israel without a problem. Israel is richer than most of Eastern Europe.
Israelis who don’t want to live here will usually immigrate to the US if they work in the tech industry, or to Germany (usually Berlin) otherwise. Especially when many Israelis have EU passports, moving to Germany is easy.

I was rather shocked that Jewish people make up [2.4% of the US population and that 3.2%](https://www.pewforum.org/2021/05/11/the-size-of-the-u-s-jewish-population) of US households have at least 1 Jewish Parent.
Particularly surprising is that there are [2x as many Jewish Americans than Muslim Americans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States). and 4x as many Jewish Americans than Arab Muslims.
