Jewish Question

The "Jewish Question" refers historically to debates in the 19th and early 20th centuries about how to integrate or assimilate Jewish populations into European societies. It involved discussions about civil rights, equality, and the status of Jews—ranging from granting full citizenship to restricting their rights. Tragically, this question was exploited by anti-Semitic ideologies, culminating in Nazi Germany’s genocidal policies during the Holocaust, aiming for the systematic persecution and extermination of Jews. Today, the term is closely associated with these historical abuses and the horrors inflicted upon Jewish communities.
