There were more than half a million (religious) Jews in Germany in the years between 1919-1930 or about 0.75% of the whole German population. (Even if you add the non-religious Jews, half-Jews and quarter Jews the total is not more than about 800,000). 80% of German Jews were well educated and urban based.

Some had achieved prominence in politics, the press, business, banking and in universities.
