Here is a visualization of the Jewish immigration Numbers based on Dr. Hochman's earlier post and the similar table found in the 3rd edition of Jew in the Modern World, p. 532.
1. Jewish vs. Total Immigration
2. Jewish immigration numbers
3. Jewish immigration as a percentage of total
-- note the spikes and valleys and think about the wars, world events, or immigration policies enacted around these events: 1906 was the peak immigration year; WWI; WWII; Immigration act of 1924.
--Can you think of some other possible causes that might explain movements in the graphs?
