Best Answer

From about 1880-1914 (and slightly earlier) often in order to get away from persecution in Tsarist Russia.

From 1933-1939 in order to flee persecution in Germany and later also Austria by the Nazis.

Did the Inquisition affect Jews in the UK And how many Jews are now living in the UK?

There are two questions here:Did the Inquisition affect Jews in the UK?No. The Inquisition did not affect the Jews in England or Scotland (the UK would not exist until the Act of Union of 1707), primarily because there were none. There were no Jews in Scotland in any sizeable number prior to the 1600s and the Jews were banished from England in 1290 and did not return to the England until the 1650s. Since the Inquisition started in the 1490s and continued in strong force for only another century, it had no effect in England or Scotland. When the Jews did return, England was Anglican and Scotland was Presbyterian, which meant that the Catholic Inquisition had no effect there.How many Jews are there in the UK?Depending on whose estimates you use, the number is anywhere between 260,000-295,000, with more general stress towards the lower end of that scale.
