At the turn of the century, around 1902, Russia fell victim to a famine and a cholera epidemic. Following this terrible year a wave of anti-Semitism swept across the Russian State. In 1903 the Jews were accused of performing ritual murders, causing a rumor created by the Russian people that their leader had ordered a general massacre. A false idea of Jews was created. Jews in every community throughout Russia were in danger of losing their lives. During the following years over 50,000 people fell victim

“professional” jobs. The Jews success caused a great deal of resentment among the citizens of Germany. Meanwhile, a man by the name of Adolf Hitler had left Austria for Berlin to begin his campaign with the Nazi party.

Russia. Russia was not the only source of persecution for the Jews, they were also fleeing Romania. Many Jews left Rumania because of an Anti-Semitic League founded in Bucharest in 1895. Between 1880 to 1905 about one million Jews emigrated from Eastern European countries(Morais, 1976). It is estimated that 700,000 Jews left Russia, 200,000 left Austria, and 100,000 left Rumania. Because the United States was seen as “the land of opportunity” eighty-five percent immigrated there while another ten percent went to Britain.

The Jews have been enduring great injustices dating back well beyond the twentieth century, but none compare with the holocaust. Europe is a diverse region, there are a number of different cultures and religions placed geographically on top of each other. People will always have their differences, it is the way in which they are settled that draws the attention of the world. With hope, anti-Semitism will be removed from the world and people will accept each other no matter what their belief system.

By 1933 Hitler came to power in Germany and just two years later came the Nuremberg Laws.

unfortunately some were also faced with the horrifying ordeal of being experimented upon. This period of time during the two World Wars was the most devastating and cruel period in the history of the Jews.
