Jewish Persecution


            
            
             Every religious group has suffered a time when their religion was not considered to be popular or right. Out of all of these religious groups that have suffered, no group has suffered as much as the people of the Jewish religion. They have been cast out from almost every country that they have ever lived in, beginning with Israel, and leading all the way up to Germany, France, Spain, England, and Russia. Not only have they been sent away but also they have suffered through torture, punishment, and murder. Because of the history of this religion, the Jewish people have become very flexible. They have survived thousands of years carrying their religion with them from one country to the next and never loosing their faith. They have traveled form Eastern Europe, to the United States and have finally managed today to settle comfortable all over North America. The Jewish religion has suffered tremendously throughout the centuries, and unfortunately it did not become any easier for them during the twentieth century. .
             The Jewish people's problems began long before the holocaust. They were persecuted long ago by King Nebuchadnezzer. There was a treaty that he signed causing the Jews to be uprooted from their homes in Jerusalem and were forced into exile in the city of Babylon. The Jews were not treated poorly; even though they were bitter because of being taken away from there home land. All because of this, The Jewish people became more faithful to their religion.
             Seventy years later, the Jewish people were allowed to return to their homeland, Jerusalem. Most of them decided to give up this option and chose to stay in Babylon. Those who stayed in Babylon became merchants, traders and bankers, which began their long history in these professions. They flourished because of the extended trade routes that were all throughout this region.
             The peace the Jews experienced during this time after being cast out of their homes, continued for three hundred years.
