Before the Holocaust, Jews faced persecution in much of the world, just not as bad as the Nazi persecution. Persecution was intense in Russia (both under the Tzars and the Communists). In Western Europe and the United States, Jews enjoyed relatively civil treatment, with many of the rights of citizenship, although there was still considerable legal discrimination against Jews even in the United States. Jews in Arab lands had second-class citizenship, although sometimes this allowed a comfortable existence comparable to that of European Jews. 200 years before the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition was still actively persecuting crypto-Jews, sometimes burning them at the stake, and Jews had no secure rights of citizenship in any country.

Is Lois Jewish?
I'm not sure if Lois Lowry is Jewish because she has wrote some books on the Holocaust and in "The Giver" Gaberial's number is 36 which is a double hi and hi which is 18 means life. Different Responder: I think Mrs. Lowry is not Jewish because in her book "Number the Stars" she said she used her Jewish friend Annelise to help her make the book, and if you think about it if she was Jewish she would have been able to make the book out of her own perspective, because Jewish people mostly have story's about the holocaust. - anonymous
