Austria-Hungary + the Pale of Settlement.
The blue blotch in Greece is Thessaloniki, the most Jewish city in the world until the earthquake of 1909.
Decent amount of Jews in Anatolia, I’ve dated a Jewish woman from Izmir.
Keep in mind that 60% of the population in Thessaloniki being Jewish is rare.
Large amounts of Belarus, Poland, and Ukraine topped 15-20% Jews back then.
NY, which is now considered ridiculously Jewish, is only about 10-12% Jewish.
Pretty sure Constantinople/ Istanbul was like 10% Jewish at that time
What nonsense. There were also Jews in Great Britain, France and Spain. Which maps were used to create this?
What’s the story with Western Turkey?
Why did you draw today’s borders and why is there a sun in the baltic sea?
Thank you for bringing awareness to the giant lava field between Finland and Sweden. I was getting tired of maps not showing it
Moral of the story: Germany almost didn’t have any Jews compared to the pale of settlement, and yet it decided on its own that they should exterminate them in the pale of settlement. Entitled much?
Nice map, but it would work better projected on the actual map of Europe in 1900.
You should to show another 2025 map to compare it to now to show just how much Jews have been eradicated from most of these countries and have had to move elsewhere.
Why are most of them in the sea?
TIL Jews were marine mammals

You should have used the borders of 1900 so the distribution makes more sense
Why were there none in East Prussia?
I see the map of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. Sorta.
Before the Europeans massacred them
It extends too far into modern day Russia. The Pale of Settlement ends at the approximate current border.
After partitioning Poland, Catherine the Great created the [Pale of Settlement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_of_Settlement)
Northern Greece should be darker, at some point Thessaloniki, the second biggest city and second most populated, had 60% Jewish population
The ones in Macedonia region were mainly in the cities, for example the Jewish population prior to WW2 was around 50% in Thessaloniki. According to some sources 98% of the Jewish population in Macedonia was killed ( not sure if referring to the region Macedonia or the country today’s North Macedonia ), so technically if you were Jewish from Poland you had 5 times greater survival chance since around 90% of the Jewish population was killed in Poland. One can only hope such horrors from WW2 never happen again but yet they’re still happening.
The destruction of the Jewish community in Thessaloniki is a topic that my mind wanders to every now and then due to its sheer brutality.
You had this community who had lived there for centuries- who defined a city to the point where it was nicknamed little Jerusalem – and all of that was destroyed in the span of 3 years, with 19 trains headed to central Europe
Check map of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
Historically, why was that an area of strong Jewish presence? Its not a facetious question, I’m generally well read in history but this period has evaded me.
Usually Jews were more focused within towns and cities. In the estern Poland the towns of Zamosc and Szczebrzeszyn or Chelm for example, were ~50% Jewish. In major cities like Lviv and Lublin they amounted to ~35%. Which I always found strange, knowing that now is closer to 0% or flat 0. In most places.

Why was the percentage so high in the black sea?
Why were there so many jews in the ocean?
No jews in Berlin?
According to the 1897 census of the Russian Empire, Minsk—now the capital of Belarus—had a population that was 52% Jewish.
You can still see the PLC.
There were 10s of thousand of Jews in Riga.
Why did the Black Sea have so many Jews?
According to the map most Jews were in the sea?
