I *think/guess* that the NYPD was only interested in Jews from the old Russian Empire because of the whole fear of Bolshevism at the time.Catholicgauzehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14622737803852974030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20709534.post-66260641889256551572012-01-06T10:59:01.399-06:002012-01-06T10:59:01.399-06:00Generally a nice break-down of ethnicities on the ...Generally a nice break-down of ethnicities on the map. I'm wondering as a Jew, though: Does the category "Russian Jews" only include those Ashkenazi (European north of the Mediterranean) Jews coming from the Russian Empire, or also those Ashkenazi Jews coming from Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Romania? If only from the Russian Empire, would the German Jews be included among the "Germans" and the Austro-Hungarian Jews among the "Austro-Hungarians"? And would Sephardic/Oriental Jews coming from the Balkans, Turkey, and Syria be included amongst the "Syrians, Turks, Armenians, Greeks"?Yosefnoreply@blogger.com
