 Jewish population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The 20th century saw a large shift in Jewish populations, due mostly to persecution in Eastern Europe followed by the Holocaust, migration to the United States and the creation of Israel and subsequent explusions of Sephardic Jews from the Arab world.
According to Joseph Jacobs, writing in the Jewish Encyclopedia (1901-1906) [1] (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=1044andletter=S), the Pentateuch contains a number of statements as to the number of Jews that left Egypt, the descendants of the seventy sons and grandsons of Jacob who took up their residence in that country.
Again following Jacobs, at the beginning of the 18th century estimated the total number of European Jews at 1,360,000, but according to a census at the First Partition of Poland in 1772, the Jews of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth numbered 308,500.

Jewish population losses in the German sphere of influence during the World War II Jürgen Graf, March 2001, in Tehran exile
A very ingenuous method to ascertain the order of magnitude of Jewish population losses in the German sphere of influence during World War Two was devised by a Swedish statistician, professor Carl Nordling (22).
Nordling recreated the Jewish fate by means of a statistical study based on Jewish personalities listed in the Encyclopedia Judaica (23) who in 1939 had lived in the countries which would later come under German control.
