Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me. It seems that even in 1916 elements in the regime were looking for scapegoats for the horrendous costs of the war whether they won or lost. :mad: Well since things were even worse in the Russian controlled regions large numbers of Jews lived in a...

Duh, totally missed point 3.:oops: A lot would depend on how things develop in Germany. There have been some suggestions that antisemitism was growing even before the war ended, in part because the Jews were assimilating so well. If so or other reasons are found for people to distrust them...
