Many Jews left Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to rising anti-Semitism, economic hardship, and oppressive conditions, particularly in Eastern Europe. Pogroms, discriminatory laws, and social unrest fueled fears for their safety and livelihoods. The promise of better opportunities in places like the United States also motivated emigration, as many sought to escape persecution and build new lives. This mass migration significantly reshaped Jewish communities around the world.

Why did many Jews leave Europe during the late middle ages?

They were blamed for the plague.In the late Middle Ages not many Jews left Europe altogether. However, many migrated, mainly from western Europe to Poland and other parts of eastern Europe, because they were already persecuted by the Christian majority. When the Black Death broke out all over western Europe, the Church, looking for a scapegoat, blamed it on the Jewish population. Jews were rounded up and tortured until they "confessed" to poisoning the water supplies and causing the Plague. In some places hysteria caused people to beat to death any Jewish person they came upon in the streets. It became so bad that many Jews began a mass exodus from the Plague infested areas - mainly to Poland, which was not affected by the plague. In Spain Jews were placed under intense pressure to convert to Christianity, and in 1492 the Jews still in Spain were forced to leave the country and go to North Africa and some other areas.
