Yes, there were some American Jews (for example) stranded in Europe. Many of them were longer-term residents rather than tourists. (From mid 1940 on tourism, except over short distances, was hardly possible in Europe).
There are Jewish communities in every European country.
The whole Reform Judaism movement in Europe advocated that.
Albert Einstein did come to America from Europe, so he could have been described as a European American at a certain period of his life; since he was also Jewish, it is more likely that he would have been considered Jewish American.
Today, the majority of European Jews live in France and England.
According to the Jewish Virtual Library, world Jewish population in 1939 was 16,728,000. The US Holocaust Memorial indicates that European Jewish population in 1933 was approximately 9.5 million, 60% of world Jewish population (15.3 million) and 1.7% of the overall European population.
Today, only about 1,500,000 Jews live throughout Europe. Prior to the Holocaust, the Jewish population was well into the double digits (perhaps about 15,000,000). 6,000,000 Jews perished due to the Holocaust, which significantly dropped the Jewish population in Europe. Most of those who survived migrated to other countries (mainly the US or the UK), and later to Israel (once it existed in 1948). Prior to the Holocaust, the majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe and Central Europe. The European countries that had the largest Jewish populations included Poland, Russia, France, Germany, etc. However, these countries did not necessarily have the largest number of Jews who fell victim to the Holocaust. Today, the majority of Jews live in Western Europe. The European countries with the largest Jewish populations are France, Russia, the UK, and Germany.
Yes, but as with all European Jewish names, it can also be a non-Jewish name.
I don't know about restrictions, but some Jewish organizations have Glatt Kosher Passover and other tours for the Jewish Holidays.
No it is Jewish. It originated in Israel.
Yes, but as with most European Jewish names, it could also be a German (non-Jewish) name.
The purpose was to murder 6 million Jews of Europe and to remove the disabled, gay, and elderly as well as any dissenting people. In 1933 approximately 9.5 million Jews lived in Europe comprising 1.7% of the total European population. This number represents more than 60% of the World's Jewish population at that time of an estimated 15.3 million. The majority of Jews in prewar Europe lived in Eastern Europe. The largest was Poland with about 3,000,000 Jews. In Central Europe the largest Jewish population was in Germany with about 525,000 people and Western Europe the largest population was in Great Britain with 300,000. Before the Nazi seizure in 1933 Europe had a diverse set of Jewish cultures. In less than a decade two out of every three Jews would be dead.
