The Hebrew Christian Shoah and Its Soteriological Legacy

One hundred years ago, Europe was home to the majority of the world’s Jewish population. In 1933 the American Jewish Yearbook placed the total Jewish population of Europe at about 9.5 million. ‘This number represented more than 60 percent of the world's Jewish population, which was estimated at 15.3 million.’[1] Today there are about 1,456,000 out of a total world population of 13,428,300,[2] meaning that only 11 percent of world Jewry lives in all of Europe. In 1902, according to A. E. Thompson, European (including British) missions to the Jews had a combined income of $568,550 US.[3]
