Jewish Displacement

Jewish displacement refers to the historical experience of Jews being forced from their homes and communities due to persecution, violence, or discrimination. This phenomenon has occurred throughout history, notably during events such as the expulsions from Spain in 1492, the pogroms in Eastern Europe, and the Holocaust during World War II, which resulted in the loss of millions of lives and the disruption of communities. Many displaced Jews sought refuge in other countries, while some migrated to Israel after its establishment in 1948, shaping Jewish identity and diaspora. This legacy continues to impact contemporary Jewish communities worldwide.
