According to the Torah, the only time in Jewish history where the Israelites (ancesters of the Jews) were clearly depicted as being kept as slaves was in ancient Egypt. They were enslaved out of fear that they would create an army and oppose Egypt.

During the Babylonian exile, the captivity of Israel could also be interpreted as slavery.

In modern history, one could reasonably argue that the Holocaust (1933-1945) was also a period of Jewish slavery, and that was due to hatred. but the ultimate goal of the Holocaust was not slave labor; it was genocide.
