    1. Rhodes and Corfu should both have been around 10-15% Jewish at the time.

      Much of Lithuania, Latvia had a significant proportion of Jews, especially the Kaunas and Daugavpils areas which are not colored.

    2. I just spent way too long trying to figure out what incredibly Jewish country the Black Sea was.

      Doesn’t make much sense to use the present political borders instead of the ones in 1914.

    4. this is a) Poland inviting them in XIV c when everyone else kicked them out, b) Imperial Russia banning Jew settlements anywhere but the Ex-Polish-Lithuanian areas and forcing relocations in XIX c.

      London and Paris should be coloured in, Thessaloniki should be darker, Latvia and Lithuania should have more blue (especially Vilnius)

    6. For a moment i thought the Sea of Azov was an Israel 2.0 with how many jews might that black color be lol

      looks highly inaccurate with no source, Berlin for example had around 5% in 1900

    8. People are going to misread this map and say “the areas in blue are all Jewish “

      There would have been a lot more 15 years before and there would be a lot less 15 years after.

      Most people think of Jews leaving Eastern Europe during WW2 or getting killed from the Holocaust, but most American Jews got there because had to leave due to the pogroms by the Russian Empire and others around the turn of the century. All my ancestors lived in this area and had to leave between 1890 and 1910.

    10. Why is the map imposed on an image of space. Already sketchy. No source too. And people just argue about it regardless.

    11. Isn’t that basically the area in which Jews were allowed to settle in during the Russian empire? Pale of settlement IIRC

    12. Map doesnt even show half of the Jewish areas. Using current borders is also a weird choice as it seems East German Jews actually lived in Poland according to this map.

    13. Seriously, I feel a huge agony about such maps… How can you represent historical information in maps that contain today’s borders? Please, either you guys make a map that contains both borders, or just keep it with the ones that were once available when the time is getting displayed.

      This will be a huge favour you guys will make for everyone in this sub.
