jewish persecution in eastern europe
Jewish persecution in Eastern Europe refers to systematic discrimination, mistreatment, violence, and oppression targeting Jewish communities in countries located primarily in the eastern region of the European continent, historically including Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and other nearby regions. This persecution was driven by numerous factors, such as religious intolerance, anti-Semitic beliefs, economic jealousy, political ideologies, and ethnic prejudices, leading to exclusion, pogroms, forced migrations, ghettos, and ultimately culminating in the Holocaust during World War II.
